Kissing can transmit hepatitis, particularly hepatitis B and C, through the exchange of saliva, blood, or bodily fluids. If one person has an active infection, the virus can be present in their saliva and can enter another person's bloodstream through microabrasions or open sores in the mouth. However, the risk of transmission through kissing is considered low compared to other methods of transmission, such as sexual contact or sharing needles. It's important for individuals with hepatitis to be aware of the potential risks in intimate settings.
