Can you get?


Question:
hepatitis c from sharing earrings with someone who doesnt have any disease

Answers:
No. It is transmitted by blood to blood contact; from an infected person's blood to a non-infected person's blood. The problem with hep c is that people often have it for years or even decades before they are diagnosed because they don't have any symptoms. So the only way to be sure someone doesn't have Hep c is if they've been tested recently. Treat other people's bodily fluids and blood as though they have a disease and you won't become infected (In other words, use gloves & protection). Otherwise you're taking a chance. Best wishes.
How do you know they don't have diseases? I wouldn't share earrings.
no you cant. i mean if both of you have completely bloody...so maybe.
No. Hepatitis C is most commonly transmitted through blood transfusions from contaminated blood. If you share earrings with a person who does not have it then you cant get it. :)
You can only get hep C from someone infected with it, but since you cannot tell until they either show symptoms or have been diagnosed, which can take up to 20 years for a normally healthy person, why take the chance. If either of you are bleeding it is possible.
Sharing needles is one way to spread HCV.
