Not at BioLife, I was there today!~ My husband had a positive years ago and now has negative blood tests, no longer has Hep C and I cannot donate, sounded like they meant I can NEVER donate again, putting me on a list??
No, because this can put the recipient at great risk for getting hepatitis.

hepatitis b viruses Hepatitis D can be found in the blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and other body fluids of people who are infected. Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and infected bodily fluids.Hepatitis C is transmitted through the blood. This can be picked up from dirty needles or tattoos.
Hepatitis B, C, and D are spread by coming into contact with an infected person's blood. Hepatitis A and E are spread by coming into contact with an infected person's stool.
Hepatitis is a blood-borne disease, which means that it can be transmitted by exposure to the blood of someone who is infected. One of the most common means of transmission is contaminated needles, and (until the last few years) blood transfusions. The blood collection and distribution system is now incomparably safer, since tests have been developed to screen infected blood, but it is much easier to exclude hepatitis patients from donating blood than it is to screen out infected blood and destroy it, and much safer. No system, and certainly no human being, is perfect, and there is always the chance of contaminated needles or equipment, and even of possibly allowing infected blood to pass scrutiny and be given to someone.
Yes
Hepatitis B is spread thru contamination with the blood of someone that is infected whether it be direct or a needle stick of someone that is infected not only blood but by body secretions

Yes, assuming they have sex with someone else who is infected.
no
The risks when coming into contact with blood are becoming infected with hepatitis C or HIV. Hepatitis B is also another risk when coming into contact with this fluid.
