I think you are wrong about hepc being more contageous than HIV.  Hepc is transmittled from blood to blood contact.  The percentage of contracting hepc sexually is minimal at best, however, HIV can and is more easily transmitted sexually.  Do some research and you will find this to be true.  I am not minimizing the seriousness of HCV, but it is not considered an STD like HIV is.

There is evidence that Hep C can be transmitted by anal sex.  I've never seen any evidence for transmission via either vaginal or oral sex.
