Ok let me explain my problem.
Me and the guy I have been dating for 3 years broke up for like 2 weeks and I went on a date with this guy I know and all he did was kiss me and touched my boobs! Well me and the other guy that I had been with for 3 years got back together and now his mother has called me and told me she HEARD that that guy I went on a date with has hepatitis C, which is very likely cause he had to have a blood transfussion cause he got hurt in Iraq, when he was over there fighting for us! Well she made me promise not to tell her son (my man) well I told him, and she thinks it would be wise if we ALL and im talking the whole freakin family gets a shot cause she thinks I might have it!!!! Well I have researched it and talked to nurses and they have all said that you can get it by touchin their blood or having sex for a really long time, which we did not do! Is it possible to get if from kissing??What do you think?What would you do about the mother buttin in all the time?

you didn't get it from kissing, just get tested and shut her the hell up

Hepatitis C is hard to get, even with sex. Generally it has to be transmitted by blood to blood contact (sharing IV needles or blood transfusion). You can test for it so perhaps the best thing to do is to see a doctor and confirm that you are negative.
Kissing and touching generally do NOT transmit Hep C so it would be very unlikely to have contracted it that way (you would probably be the only person ever to contract it that way).
And for the butting in mother, let her know that there is no vaccine for Hepatitis C so to stop worrying about it.

You cannot transmit Hep C through kissing or touching. I don't know what "shot" this mother is referring to but it would be helpful if she were more educated about the disease. There is no vaccine.
What would I do about the mother butting in? I'd tell her to mind her own business and after she learns about Hep C, then come talk to me about it.

If I had my bf's mother butting in all the time I would probably flip. That would drive me up a wall. As for the hepititis c...i dont think that you can get it just from kissing. I hope that everything turns out all right!!

Hepatitis c is caused by blood transfusion dope shooters and sexual entercourse.

kissing does exchange bodily fluids, so would get yourself and your partner checked. as for nosy mama, get the two of you taken care of first, if neither of you had it, tell her to butt out, and if she is that paranoid, tell her to go by herself and don't drag the rest of the family into it.

Why don't you go to the doctor and get tested.

No you could not have caught it from him and there is no shot for it.
