it depends on which hepatitis virus you are talking about. There is A (food borne/contamination with fecal matter)\nHepatitis B (having sex with someone who has it or sharing drugs with the infected person)\nHepatitis C (there is no chance unless there is transfer of blood into your blood)\nHepatitis D (only occurs with hepatitis B)\nHepatitis E (rare in the United States)

Yes. people can get aids from other stuff like using a dirty needle when getting a tatoo, or you can also get crabs from a toilet seat in a gas station bathroom. Anyway lets say your boyfriend gets aids from one of those non-sexual ways, then when he has sex with you, you will get Aids. It's always a good idea to get checked at your local clinic every now and then (I do it every month)to see if you got Aids or any other STD. I say this because 1/3 of the people you have an STD, don't even know they got it.

Hepatitis B is highly sexually transmitted. It is very possible to pass it onto the mother, who could in turn pass it onto the child. There is post exposure medication that could be given, but it would have to be given within a certain time frame.  The mother would have to be tested to see if she has HBV, and then to see if it is chronic, or if it resolved on it's own.  80% of people who become exposed to it clear it on their own. The rest go on to have chronic liver disease and will need treatment.  Treatment can help people clear it, but I'm not sure what the success rate is (I'm more familiar with Hep C statistics). Best wishes.

Has he been tested? If he hasn't he needs to be. If he doesn't have it then yes by all means wear a condom if it will give him peace of mind. The following FAQ is from the CDC.\n\nHow is HCV spread from one person to another? \n\n How could a person have gotten hepatitis C?\nHCV is spread primarily by direct contact with human blood. For example, you may have gotten infected with HCV if: \n\nyou ever injected street drugs, as the needles and/or other drug "works" used to prepare or inject the drug(s) may have had someone else's blood that contained HCV on them. \nyou received blood, blood products, or solid organs from a donor whose blood contained HCV. \nyou were ever on long-term kidney dialysis as you may have unknowingly shared supplies/equipment that had someone else's blood on them. \nyou were ever a healthcare worker and had frequent contact with blood on the job, especially accidental needlesticks. \nyour mother had hepatitis C at the time she gave birth to you. During the birth her blood may have gotten into your body. \nyou ever had sex with a person infected with HCV. \nyou lived with someone who was infected with HCV and shared items such as razors or toothbrushes that might have had his/her blood on them. \n How long can HCV live outside the body and transmit infection? \nRecent studies suggest that HCV may survive on environmental surfaces at room temperature at least 16 hours, but no longer than 4 days.\n\n What do you use to remove HCV from environmental surfaces?\nYou should clean up any blood spills - including dried blood, which can still be infectious - using 1:10 dilution of one part household bleach to 10 parts of water for disinfecting the area. Use gloves when cleaning up any blood spills.\n\n Is there any evidence that HCV has been spread during medical or dental procedures done in the United States? \nMedical and dental procedures done in the United States generally do not pose a risk for the spread of HCV. However, there have been a few situations in which HCV has been spread between patients when supplies or equipment were shared between them. \n\n Can HCV be spread by sexual activity? \nYes, but this does not occur very often. See section below on counseling for more information on hepatitis C and sexual activity. \n\n Can HCV be spread by oral sex?\nThere is no evidence that HCV has been spread by oral sex. See section on counseling for more information on hepatitis C and sexual activity. \n\n Can HCV be spread within a household? \nYes, but this does not occur very often. If HCV is spread within a household, it is most likely due to direct exposure to the blood of an infected household member.\n\nCan you get Hepatitis C from getting a tattoo?\nAlthough biologically possible when poor infection control practices are used, there is no evidence that hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been spread through tattooing. For more information...\n\nSince more advanced tests have been developed for use in blood banks, what is the chance now that a person can get HCV infection from transfused blood or blood products? \nLess than 1 chance per 2 million units transfused.\n\n Is it possible that HCV could be transmitted through the bite of a mosquito or other blood sucking arthropods, especially in third world countries? \nHepatitis C virus has not been shown to be transmitted by mosquitoes or other arthropods.\n\n How can a person protect themselves from getting hepatitis C and other diseases spread by contact with human blood? \n\nDon't ever shoot drugs. If you shoot drugs, stop and get into a treatment program. If you can't stop, never reuse or share syringes, water, or drug works, and get vaccinated against hepatitis A and hepatitis B. \nDo not share toothbrushes, razors, or other personal care articles. They might have blood on them. \nIf you are a healthcare worker, always follow routine barrier precautions and safely handle needles and other sharps. Get vaccinated against hepati

No.  Even though Hepatitis B and AIDS both can be transmitted through exposure to bodily fluids containing the virus. This includes unprotected sexual contact, blood transfusions, re-use of contaminated needles and syringes, vertical transmission from mother to child during childbirth, and so on they are not related.  \n\nHepatitis B is one of a few known non-retroviral viruses which employ reverse transcription as part of its replication process. Other viruses which use reverse transcription include HTLV or HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, but HIV and hepatitis B are not related. Hepatitis B's genome is DNA, and reverse transcription is one of the latter steps in making new viral particles, whereas HIV has an RNA genome and reverse transcription is one of the first steps in replication.

You get a stomach virus from not washing your hands after touching something that has been contaminated by someone who is sick, and you touch something you eat or touch your mouth. Or, if someone with the virus vomits in your vicinity, the virus can be aerosolized, and you can breathe it in. Generally, though, the most common route into the body is hand-to-mouth contact, and less commonly the airborne route. \n\nA lot of what people consider to be a stomach virus is actually food poisoning.

My boy you can get far more than STD's by doing that. But yes, you can get HIV as people often have some skin breaks in that area and Hepatitis C. You can also get Hepatitis A and B as well as a very serious bacterial infection, parasites, and the likes.\n\nYou really just shouldn't stick your tongue in places like that.

Nope,\nYou can only get HIV through blood, including blood transfusion, and sex (anal, oral, and vaginal).  If you are a heroine user and you shoot up the drug through a needle, and you have HIV virus, and someone else uses that same needle they can also contract the virus as well.  Those are the only ways.

YES. An infected person's tear film, like other body fluids, DOES contain the virus.

Well while those are the most common way to contract AIDS, you can also get it anytime your blood or bodily fluids come into contact with someone else's blood who has AIDS. So if you were to help clean up a cut of someone who had AIDS and by chance also had a cut on your hand and their blood got into your cut there is a very good chance you would contract it as well. Any other possible way is very rare and almost certainly unlikely, because you're not gonna wear someone else's dirty underwear or anything like that, lol

no.  We are not even sure you can get HCV from sexual contact.  see the center for diseases web site (CDC website) which recommends no special precautions for monogomous couples with HCV.

HCV is transmitted through blood to blood contact. Getting it from sex is rare and it may be from something else. I have HCV and live with my family-2 other adults and 2 teenagers. I don't share my plate when eating and they know to stay away from combs, toothbrushes, and shavers. As far as I'm aware no one has gotten the virus from me in the 23 years I've had it. It's a case of following proper hygiene and not sharing anything that could have blood on it. Be especially careful of IV drugs and tatoos. Everything must be sterile to not catch it from someone who has it. At my house we really don't do anything special, except I keep my drinks in old gatorade bottles, so everyone knows they're mine.

After you touched the mouse with your hand, did you stick your hand in your mouth? Or did you wash your hand after? Stomach viruses are usually bacteria, that is transmitted through contact and it has to get inside your system. If you wash your hands regularly then you probably don't have to worry. Take plenty of Vitamin C and wash your hands a lot.

Hep C is mostly spread by blood, but other body fluids (like those involved with sex) can cause it to spread to others as well.\nSo unless you or your daughter have been having sex with your parents or touching their open wounds (or blood in any form) you should be safe. If you are really that worried get the test done.
