dont share anything that you could cut yourself on,its blood to blood so razors,tooth brushes,nail clippers etc,to be on the safe side.its not that easy to catch unless u inject some1 with your blood as u would already know that most of us caught it from transmission like urself and sharing needles or spoons contaminated etc...but by all means be careful in everything you do when it comes to blood just to make sure,i dont even let my family or m8s drink out of my drinks,lol.yes i am prob over the top but hey i dont care, i sleep better that way knowing i dont give this rotten disease to any1.
i am very tired and foggy in the head today so i hope that helped...im sure someone else will be of more help but its pretty easy to know what not to do...just think of anything that has blood involved and dont share that bloody stuff with any1,even if the odds are really low in some ways of spreading it id still be as careful as we can be,but thats just my oppinion.

correction;
i meant contaminated spoons for injection usage,not eating spoons..just incase u wasnt sure since you didnt catch hep from drug use u might not know all the stuff involved.
