HIV and HEP C

Does Hep C truly impact the window period?  I've read about healthcare workers that tested pos for HIV and HCV after 3 months because of a coinfection.  I had a work related incident too so I just wonder if my 3 mo test for both of these viruses will be conclusive.  By the way, there has been so much debate about the 3 mo period.  I spoke to the CDC and the lady told me 97% by 3 mos, 6 mos conclusive.  Holy ****, I feel like there isn't an accurate answer on this topic.

By the way, can you pass HEP C to someone through Sex?  I realize this is a HIV forum but if anyone knows I'd appreciate ur thoughts.  I'm just concerned about my 3 mo tests and the impact it will have on my wife.  I'm not even sure what the Wperiod is for Hep C?
Thx gang

why the hell did you call CDC ?
just listen to DR. HH.

CDC considers the cases all around the world.
like Africa and Asia... as per the info i got on the net
(in the recent times) there have been only 2/3 cases where the sero conversion is delayed beyond 3 month.

I spoke with some of the volunteers, and got the message that if u are neg at three months then u can relax,  totally...

hep c is not listed as a sexually transmitted disease, though i think it is possible.

Hep C needs blood to blood contact.
It is not listed as sexually transmitted disease.
It could become transmissible in sexual intercourse in case of bleeding of both side. Need anyway a certain flow.
