Some of the ways #hepatitis
C can be passed on are:
*sharing injecting equipment for any type of drug
* from drug paraphernalia, like injecting equipment, bank notes or straws to snort with, spoons or pipes
*unsterilised tattoo, piercing or acupuncture equipment
*sharing things like razors, toothbrushes or hair clippers that may have blood on them
*sex without a condom with someone with hepatitis C (but the chance is low unless it's sexual activity that might expose someone to blood)
*If you are pregnant and have hepatitis C, there is a small chance of it being passed on to the baby.

A 1% annual increase in condom in the U.S. use could prevent nearly 10,000 cases of sexually transmitted infections.
