Type C Hepatitis primarily spreads through which method?

Food contamination
Airborne transmission
Blood exposure
Insect bites

The correct answer is: Blood exposure

Type C Hepatitis primarily spreads through blood exposure. This means that the virus is most commonly transmitted when infected blood enters the bloodstream of an uninfected person. This can occur through sharing needles, blood transfusions (if the blood is not properly screened), or any other situation where an exchange of blood may happen, such as exposure to blood on shared personal items like razors. Understanding this mode of transmission is crucial for prevention methods, especially in settings such as healthcare or among individuals who may be at higher risk due to certain behaviors, like drug use or unsafe sexual practices. This awareness also underscores the importance of using protective measures to minimize the risk of blood exposure. Recognizing the different ways viruses can spread helps in implementing effective safety practices in various environments.
