Q: can a person get Hepatitis a b c through kissing, sharing ciggarettes or sharing cups??
Hi there
Is there a reason for your worry? If you feel you may have been exposed you need to speak with your doctor.
Here is a government health site which explains how hepatitis is contracted and how it is not contracted.
Evidently you cannot get it through kissing, hugging, or sharing food or drinks.
You can get it by having sexual intercourse with the infected person, sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes, or sharing needles with the infected person.
This is a question best answered by your doctor. If you have concerns I would give him or her a call.
Thank you for your question.
