Transmission of hepatitis c
Hello, I have been dating my boyfriend for about 5years now, and currently he is attending a placement job sent by his school. (He is working in a treatment of drugs center ( unit center)). He has currently found out that some clients within the treatment center have Hepatitis C and he is worried for the fact that he has had physical contact with them such as, playing soccer at the gym thus allowing for the bodies to make contact (sweaty bodies), and on one occasion, due to a joke, lip contact with on of the clients. Now he is worried that he might have been infected with hepatitis C, is it possible of obtaining Hepatitis C due to physical contacts as mentioned above?

Thank you for reading.
There is a risk in contact sports during which body parts collide and both get bloodied (like a bare knuckle punch or a rugby scrum collision),
otherwise no,
