The most common means of transmission are through sharing of needles, cookers and other drug “paraphernalia,” and through sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal and or oral) with an infected partner.

Los modos más comunes de transmisión son a través del intercambio de jeringas, quemadores y otros utensilios considerados "parafernalia" de drogas y a través de las relaciones sexuales (vaginales, anales u orales) con una pareja infectada.
