How can hepatitis C be transmitted?

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread through contact with infected blood and, most likely, needle stick injuries.

You can contract Hep. C from bodily fluids to body fluids (sex), or sharing needles (drug users this means YOU). A lot of things can cause it.

Can you treat hepatitis c with hepatitis a?

NO, Hep C is not actually a liver disease and is unrelated to any other Hep Virus. It is an inflammatory Virus and can cause damage anywhere in your body including your central nervous system affecting your whole body. Try Coconut Oil or Human Breatmilk for Lauric Acid to weaken cell membranes of Hep C with Australian Tea Tree Essential Oil found at Walmartapplied to skin and areas of pain to kill weakened virus and stop inflammation. This is absorbed through skin and enters blood. Add 2-5ML Ginkobilobo Liquid Extract to open blood vessels up to multilpy effects of the Terpinol 4-OL in tee tree, Strawberries for Immune System Boost, Cranberries for diuretic cleansing, High Fiber Diet for colonic cleansing, and DRINK LOTS of WATER! If damage has occurred there are also ways to turn the damage around. My Hep C load increased and was progressing after beginning combo therapy. This eliminated my viral load within 90 days. Took a month of trail and error to get combo right but I cleared Virus. After 90 days I did try to quit this but symptoms began to come back. I have not retested viral load but I feel better than I ever did. Suspect I'll need to continue this for 1 year and may need Ribovirn as a viral marker due to the Adaptive and Mutative nature of Hep C if negative viral load is not sustained. Doctor wanted to start new Medication bot after 50K in meds that did not work and this is working I'll keep doing what I am doing... Good Luck!

What does contraindication mean in Hepatitis B?

By contraindication it means it's advised against in patients with Hepatitis B. For example, if a particular medicine says "Contraindicated in patients with Hepatitis B", it means it can harm the patient, making them even sicker, or even result in death.

If you break down the word - contra indicated - it may help you to understand it better. When you think of the word "contraband", you know it means illegal, not allowed, or "banded", as in banned.

The same applies to "contraindicated"; it's not an indicated treatment for people with a specific disease or illness.

Can you get hepatitis B from getting a body piercing?

Yes. You can contract Hep B from body piercing. This is generally due to unsterilized equipment, used needles and cross contamination by the person providing the piercing.

Do it your self piercing kits are another means that can lead to the contraction of Hep B, poor instructions and poor handling of jewellery and the needle can lead to infections, allergic reactions and the contraction of Hep B as well.

This is why you need to leave body piercing to licensed and inspected service providers, the little outlet in the mall is not one of these providers. Mall piercing shops are the leading cause of most piercing related issues next to do it your selves and travelling wanna be body piercers.

Hair salons and spa's can also fail to maintain the level of hygiene needed to provide safe body piercing services. This can also apply to less than perfectly clean tattoo studios trying to cash in by offering body piercing as an add on service. So do your home work and make a few calls to your local health inspector to fine out who's on the good guy's list in your area.

Can you be infected with hepatitis c from spit?

Of course you can be infected with hepatitis C from spit. 40% of the population's spit will contain some blood due to any number of things. Did you ever have visible blood in your spit? Now consider that it does not have to be visible blood to carry HCV.

If you google, you can find cases of HCV acquired by using a toothbrush of infected person, or if they use yours. Also, due to the high number of cases where transmission is not defined (victims never engaged in any high risk of transmission activity), bodily fluid other than highly concentrated blood, where the presence of blood must be less visible must not be ruled out.

In addition, these mystery cases are not likely to ever be determined to have been acquired through casual contact with the infected, as this has become very political, meaning you won't get un-massaged facts. And, when you read many post stating how you can even have sex with a HCV infected person, you may see a request for you to become an organ donor.

The reckless lifestyle that most infected have led does put innocent people in danger.
