MYTH: You can get hepatitis from sharing food and utensils.
There is no evidence of people getting hepatitis C or hepatitis B from sharing food and utensils.
Hepatitis C is transmitted only via blood-to-bloodstream contact.
While hepatitis B is found in the saliva, the amount of virus in it is not enough for saliva to be a transmission agent. You will need to drink buckets of saliva before transmission may occur.
