I know I am asking easy questions but...

To: discussion hep c
I am involved with a man who has tested positive with hep c.  I am not infected and would like to stay that way.  How likely is infection to occur thru sex?  I have read your forum and a couple others that focus on blood infections.  Is this the most likely way to transmit?  How about saliva?

Blood to blood only as stated on the other thread.

highly unlikely route but i would use a condom myself as having had it and got rid of it i woul'dnt want it again!

Excuse the question but do you practice safe sex to keep her from becoming infected?

[Jakied]

sexual transmission of hep c is very rare.   When sexual transmission DOES occur,

it is almost always male to female.  Simple anatomy,  

FYI.

This should give you some clarification.
