It is possible for Hepatitis C to be transferred through saliva. This is not always the case, but it is a possibility.

No, hepatitis C does not spread through saliva. It is most commonly passed through blood. Read the CDC guide on prevention and treatment here: http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2006/hepatitis-c.htm.

Hepatitis C has only been proven to be transmitted through blood to blood contact. It may be possible to be infected other ways but is currently unknown.

Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver where the symptoms can be asymptomatic. Its mode of contact is via blood to blood transmission. Therefore, you cannot get this disease from a saliva.
