    Hepatitis C .. A BIG NO :)

    Hepatitis C : a disease caused by a virus that infects the liver. In time, it can lead to permanent liver damage as well as cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure.

    What causes hepatitis C infection?
    Hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is spread by contact with an infected person's blood.

    You can get hepatitis C if:

    You share needles and other equipment used to inject illegal drugs. This is the most common way to get hepatitis C in the United States.
    You had a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1992. As of 1992 in the United States, all donated blood and organs are screened for hepatitis C.
    You get a shot with a needle that has infected blood on it. This happens in some developing countries where they use needles more than once when giving shots.

    .....

    Only for bloods .. :)

    unfortunately you can get some other types of heppa in sharing a drink, lip gloss and also kissing .. hope i helped :)
