    Hepatitis C is spread via the blood route.

    Quote:

    How could a person have gotten hepatitis C?
    HCV is spread primarily by direct contact with human blood. For example, you may have gotten infected with HCV if:

    * you ever injected street drugs, as the needles and/or other drug "works" used to prepare or inject the drug(s) may have had someone else's blood that contained HCV on them.
    * you received blood, blood products, or solid organs from a donor whose blood contained HCV.
    * you were ever on long-term kidney dialysis as you may have unknowingly shared supplies/equipment that had someone else's blood on them.
    * you were ever a healthcare worker and had frequent contact with blood on the job, especially accidental needlesticks.
    * your mother had hepatitis C at the time she gave birth to you. During the birth her blood may have gotten into your body.
    * you ever had sex with a person infected with HCV.
    * you lived with someone who was infected with HCV and shared items such as razors or toothbrushes that might have had his/her blood on them.

    No, you can't get it by drinking after people.
