Can you get hepatitis c from someone with c?

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection that can be spread through contact with infected blood. This means that it can be transmitted from someone with hepatitis C to someone who does not have hepatitis C if the infected person's blood enters the bloodstream of the uninfected person.

There are several ways that this can happen, such as:

- Sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia with someone who has hepatitis C

- Getting a tattoo or piercing with unsterile equipment

- Having unprotected sex with someone who has hepatitis C

It is important to note that hepatitis C cannot be spread through casual contact, such as touching or hugging someone who has the infection.
