It can only be passed through blood to blood contact.

Occurs when blood from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not infected.

HCV is spread through sharing needles or "works" when "shooting" drugs, through needlesticks or sharps exposures on the job, or from an infected mother to her baby during birth.
