Bill,
Yes, short, sweet and to the point. "Just the facts, ma'am".
I gave the digital cut n paste version.

LOL, I gave the Reader's Digest version :)
HCV is spread primarily by exposure to human blood. It is a blood to blood disease.
Approximately 80 percent of persons who share needles to inject drugs are infected with HCV. Persons who receive blood transfusions face some risk, although it is very low since testing of donated blood for HCV began in 1990. Hepatitis C has been transmitted between sex partners and among household members, but the degree of risk is believed to be low. HCV is not spread by food or water or casual contact, such as shaking hands or sharing a work space or bathroom facility.

No, Hep C requires blood to blood exposure.
