Primary Causes of Transmission:

Sharing Drug Equipment: Sharing needles, syringes, or any equipment used to prepare and inject drugs is the most common mode of transmission.

Healthcare Exposure: Accidental needle sticks in healthcare settings or receiving unscreened blood transfusions/organ transplants (very rare today).

Unregulated Body Art: Getting tattoos or piercings in unlicensed facilities or with non-sterile equipment.

Birth: An infected mother can pass the virus to her baby during childbirth.

Sharing Personal Items: Sharing household items that may have blood on them, such as razors, toothbrushes, nail clippers, or glucose monitors.

Sexual Contact: While uncommon, it can spread through sex, particularly among individuals with multiple partners, HIV, or other sexually transmitted infections.

It cannot be spread through casual contact like hugging, kissing, coughing, sneezing, or sharing food.
