Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hepatitis C is primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected blood, such as through sharing needles or other equipment for injecting drugs. It can also be transmitted through another type of direct exposure to blood, such as through receiving a blood transfusion before 1992 when screening for hepatitis C was not universal. While sexual transmission can occur, it is less common than other modes of transmission. Contaminated food or indirect contact with inanimate objects do not typically transmit the virus.
