My wife has Hep C. My doctor has told me that the chances of me contracting Hep C from her through sex is approximately 1% for each year we have sex assuming we enjoy a regular sex life. So, after 25 years of regular sexual activity, you are looking at a 25% chance or a one in four chance.
We've spoken with my wifes doctor as well and she concurs with my doctors opinion.
Wife and I have been together 20 years, so far so good. I'll be going on Alpha interferon next year. Been Asymtomatic all these years. I've known since '90
You can get Hep C from sex, but it is a slim chance. There are only four body fluids that can transmit the disease; Blood, breast milk, vaginal secrections, and semen. These Infected fluids have to enter the blood stream of a non-infected person in order for them to get the disease. So, in example, The only way a female can contract Hep C through sexual intercourse is if she has a tear or something around her vagina, or inside the vaginal canal and the infected semen enters the blood stream. HIV is passed the exact same ways. This is why these two deseases are more common with gay men. The rectum tears easier, resulting in an open wound... Hope this helps... Also, to further answer this question or any others you may have... Google your questions... There are many helpful MEDICAL websites.
