HCV Worries from Oral Sex?

I have recently had a handful of oral sex partners both of us male and never having any ejaculate in my mouth with the exception of possible pre-ejaculate. I am wondering if should be concerned and what the statistics are that I could have aquired Hcv this way. Also, if you have any advice on Hep A,B as well would be great. When can I test for these and expect reliable conclusive results. Thanks.

"How would you know this, is this how you contracted HCV :0".
personal attacks?

"I'm about as straight as straight gets, but I do have friends and family that are gay". "Homophobic comments"?

"Sorry if I struck a personal nerve"

I'm about as straight as straight gets, but I do have friends and family that are gay and your homophobic comments are really not needed on this forum.

"Unprotected sex has consequences, that has been known for along time"

http://www.hcvadvocate.org/hepatitis/factsheets_pdf/Sexual%20Transmission%20of%20HCV.pdf .

Being a medic you would think you would be a little more informed about how HCV is spread.

Have a great day

Medic, Viet Nam, lots of blood to blood exposure (wound to wound).

Sorry if I struck a personal nerve.

The poster was trying it get a reaction and succeeded. Profile says the poster is female.

Unprotected sex has consequences, that has been known for along time.

lighten up, and try to remember you are what you eat and whatever you put in your mouth may come back to bite you. LOL

" perhaps someone in the future coming across this thread deserves to know the facts and how dangerous gay (man with man) sex is. Anyone who don't believe this is foolish. "

This is a very homeophobic inaccurate statement.
Since your bias is counterproductive to giving truthful information in this area, you would best help people by refraining to comment.

Man to man sex covers a huge variety of sexual encounters.
Have you heard of safe sex? Men using condoms are protected.

"There is plenty of data to back it up. There is no need for me to post specific links. Just google "gay men and HCV"."

Why do you refuse to show your sources? I showed mine.

I can google 'insurance covering birth control pills for women" and find a post calling it prostitution. There is a lot of misinformation out there including things from people's blogs.
