However, the risk is significantly lower compared to direct blood-to-blood contact or other more common modes of transmission. It's important to practice good hygiene and avoid sharing personal items that may come into contact with blood.

Hepatitis can vary in transmissibility depending on the type.

Therefore, while some forms of hepatitis are highly transmissible, others are less so.
