If a person with Hepatitis C bites someone and breaks the skin can the person get Hepatitis C? Thanks

I am no doctor but I think a doctor would say no. It has to be a blood to blood transfer. If the one doing the biting has blood in their mouth then maybe, but I really do not know. [ website not allowed - please read the posting rules Good luck.

Probably not.

However, any violent confrontation is a risk for any disease that might be present in any of the parties. This includes domestic violence and certain sexual practices, as well as barroom brawling. These can be very risky.

A test for hepatitis C is a good idea for any adult.
