What is the most common method for transmission of the Hepatitis C virus?BloodborneFecal-oralAirborneDroplet

Answer

The most common method for the transmission of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is bloodborne. Hepatitis C is primarily spread through direct exposure to infectious blood. This can occur through sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs, receiving contaminated blood products, or through needlestick injuries in healthcare settings. Unlike some other hepatitis viruses, such as Hepatitis A and E, which are transmitted via the fecal-oral route, Hepatitis C does not spread through casual contact, droplet, or airborne transmission. Therefore, ensuring safe practices in medical environments and among individuals at risk is essential to prevent the spread of the virus.
