Never EVER kiss another guy after a bar fight, which might be one of the only situations where an oscular blood borne transmission is possible. And even then, you'd need to get all French about it.

Let me get this straight. You don't have Hepatitis C but you're worried you might get it from kissing "college gals" with bad oral hygeine? Well, luckily you have multiple solutions: http://cadburyadams.com/

the only way I can think that you would get HVC from kissing is if the gums are bleeding, but would you want to kiss her/him anyway?  guess it is possible... the CDC advises people with HCV not to share their toothbrush, probably for same type of reason.  No biting OK??

HUH?

I'm sorry -- I think you have bad breath associated with HCV.

Or something else. LOL!

HCV is a blood borne disease ray_ray...

However - there are a lot of germs in this world ---and well - I would suppose that it would be a good idea to make sure the person you are kissing ------ or more with --- practices decent oral hygiene... but how the heck can you spell hygiene but not could.... Hmmmm nevermind.

ANYWAY  --- whoever you decide to frolic with --- take care --- and choose wisely.

And I have no clue about London STD or HCV stats or DENTAL stats.
