Is there any situation where Hepatitis C could be transmitted through saliva

Category: hep c saliva transmission

While rare, a theoretical risk exists if blood is present in the saliva. For example, if both individuals have bleeding gums or open sores in their mouths, and blood from an infected person enters the bloodstream of a non-infected person, transmission could potentially occur. However, this is not a common route of transmission and the risk is considered extremely low.
