Before getting excited about transmission of hepatitis c the antibody test should be rechecked along with a hepatitis c rna viral load to see if you actually have hepatitis c or not. If you do actually have it, the chance of transmitting to others is low except with blood or needle contact. It is not passed with casual contact.Please have retesting done as I have suggested to help know what you are dealing with. If you have the actual virus newer treatments are available to get rid of it.
