Safety with Hepatits

“IS IT SAFE TO HAVE MY DAUGHTER VISIT MY FATHER WHO HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH HEPATITIS?”

Hepatitis B and C are mainly transmitted the same way that HIV would be transmitted (blood transfusions, contaminated needle sticks, etc.). The casual contact that would occur during a visit to the grandparents should pose no risk. This is different than another virus, Hepatitis A, which is much easier to transmit (not washing hands after using bathroom).
