summary

My girlfriend and I have been dating for several years, and now we are finally stable and planning to get married. When I went to have a premarital examination, I found that I was a hepatitis C patient, which made me afraid of getting married. I was afraid that I would infect her. Now I am really distressed. Now let's learn whether hepatitis C can be transmitted.

First, hepatitis C can also be transmitted. Mother to child transmission, tooth extraction, tattoo, sharing of razor and toothbrush, and sexual life without strict detoxification can all be transmitted. However, kissing and eating will not be contagious.

Second: hepatitis C is a stubborn infectious disease, the main route of transmission is blood, sex, mother to child, skin and mucous membrane damage infection. In fact, you don't have to be afraid, if you just go to see him, of course, it won't be infected, as long as there is no intimate contact, it won't be a big problem.

Third: the transmission routes of hepatitis C include: blood transmission, mother to child transmission, sexual contact transmission, and close contact transmission in daily life (sharing combs, nail clippers, razors, and toothbrushes).
