| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Hepatitis B is transmitted sexually and through injection drug use. Hepatitis C is transmitted very easily through IDU and uncommonly through sex. Blood transfusion used to be a route; but almost never occurs now through thorough testing of the blood. Tatoos should be obtained at official tatoo parlors and not with shared needles from friends. | ||||||||
