The only way you really can get Hep C is through sharing needles. Sexual contact and everything else is very low risk, this would include kissing as well even if blood was present. I have a friend with Hep C and he has never given it to his wife after several years.
If you are honestly concerned about this, you should speak with your doctor. Don't trust everything you read on the internet... this includes Yahoo! answers.

i'm not one hundred% yet, i imagine once the chilly sore is scabbed up that is a lot less infectious than even as that is a blister.. so i imagine that is going to be okay to percentage a drink if its like that.. With hep c tho.. it must be spread with the help of blood so say if the scab got here off and then there replaced into residue of blood on the glass or cup and then you drank it i think that ought to lead on to bypass an infection? do exactly not percentage drinks or different issues which include toothbrushes, shavers etc i'm confident you do not any way lol wish this enables :)

I have hep c and NO you can't transmit from kissing just blood contact or sexual contact IF and ONLY IF you have multiple partners, if you are monogamous then for some strange reason the risk is lots lower! I've known hep c positive people marry hep c negative and have perfectly healthy hep c free babies.

Hep c is transmitted through blood to blood, not from bodily fluids. It is rarely passed from mother to child (<8% chance), and if the mother is negative, then there is no risk of the father passing it to the child unless the child comes in contact with his blood.

The answer is NO. The ways in which hepatitis C is transmitted are related to blood
- Injection drug use
- Insuffulated drug use (Drugs which are "snorted")
- Blood products
- Iatrogenic medical or dental exposure
- Occupational exposure to blood
- Recreational exposure to blood
- Sexual exposure to blood
- Piercing and tattoos
- Shared personal care items
So I'm thinking if the person didn't have any bleeding (gums, tongue) during kissing, NO.

Hep C can only be transmitted by blood contact, not by kissing.
