basically I'm asking if Hepatite C can be spread by contacting with saliva?

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread through contact with infected blood. Common routes of infection include illicit injection drugs (eg, sharing needles), blood transfusions (before 1992), needlestick accidents among healthcare workers, and any other blood-to-blood contact, such as may occur during sexual activity. Each of these routes of transmission is discussed in further detail below. Because hep C is often not detected for many years after infection, it may be difficult to pinpoint the exact event that caused your infection.

Yes I think it can if you had a cut or you were kissing but hep C can be treated too and it is not easy to catch. If in doubt you could get a blood test

Yes. Don't you have to get Heptitis C shots just to work in a position like yours?
