How Hepatitis is spread:

Hep A: Ingestion of fecal matter, even in microscopic amounts, from close person-to-person contact or ingestion of contaminated food or drinks.

Hep B: Contact with infectious blood, semen, and other body fluids from having sex with an infected person, sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs, or from an infected mother to her newborn.

Hep C: Contact with the blood of an infected person, primarily through sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs, but can occur during sexual intercourse. For more information, please click here.
