Can you get Hepatitis "C" from using a toliet seat a infected person used?


Can you get hepatitis "C" from going to the restroom after the infected person used the restroom toliet before you?

No- to put it simply, it is a blood born illness.

Hep 'C' is as stated above a Bloodbourne Virus and ONLY Bloodbourne...it is not transmitted by way of food, it is not transmitted sexually and definitely not by sitting on a toilet seat unless that toilet seat is covered in the Hep C carriers blood and it gets into your body through an open cut or break in the skin.

No. Hepatitis C is transmitted through percutaneus means primarily. The previous person described Hepatitis A

Hep C is transmitted in similar ways to HIV - from sharing needles or needlestick injuries, unprotected sex, blood transfusions (if the blood has not been screened), and sometimes from mother to unborn child.

no. Hepatitis C must get into the blood from ingestion of food or other swallowed things such as water from a swimming pool. It cant get into the blood thru your skin by sitting on a toilet

As long as there was no menstrual bits or vugular discharge you will be fine. If there was either or both of the above mentioned things on that seat, I am so sorry for your lots......you have cooties.
