PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is mostly transmitted through exposure to infective blood. This may happen through transfusions of HCV-contaminated blood and blood products, contaminated injections during medical procedures, and through injection drug use. Sexual transmission is also possible, but is much less common.

Detailed explanation-2: -How is hepatitis C spread (transmitted)? Transmission occurs when blood or other body fluids from an infected person enters the body of an uninfected person. This may happen through sharing of needles or “works” when “shooting” drugs, through accidental needle sticks, or from an infected mother to baby during birth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hepatitis B is transmitted when blood, semen, or another body fluid from a person infected with HBV enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through sexual contact; sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth.
