hip and sexual intercourse

can you catch hip c through sexual intercourse?

Hepatitis C is easily transmitted sexually.

Not true. It is remarkable how difficult it is to transmit hepatitis C through sexual intercourse. As it turns out hepatitis B, another hepatitis virus, is one of the easiest systemic infections to transmit through sexual contact. HIV, with which we are all familiar as the cause of AIDS, is actually more difficult to transmit sexually than hepatitis B. Hepatitis C has been associated with a slightly increased risk of transmission in people with a history of multiple sexual partners and those with other sexually transmitted diseases. Nevertheless, in monogamous couples, one of whom is infected with hepatitis C, the rate of transmission over decades of intercourse is relatively negligible. It is in the range of one to two percent, which may be confounded by other routes of transmission as well. Use of barrier contraceptives seems prudent, and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) recommends contraceptive use particularly for those with multiple sexual partners.

Just want to add people have been known to throw their "hip out" during sexual intercouse.  I've heard it referred to as "wild monkey sex" on occasion.  :)

are you referring to "hip"po sex. Where you mount from behind.... oh never mind it is hard to even picture that. NO you can not get it from sex "unless" there is blood involved, i.e. rough sex, girl has period and you have an open sore on penis. Anyway use protection if you are unsure of someones status.  good luck

Yes you can contract HCV through sex although the transmission rate is low.
Here in Florida it is considered an STD

  How come you are always talking about "wild monkey sex". I sure wish we were "GOOD" friends.  
  I threw my HIP IN one time and it really hurt.

Maybe MedHelp should just put the answer in the forum title:

"Hepatitis C Community - No, you don't get it from having sex"

That would not be factual, that's probably why they don't put it there.
This question gets asked alot and the answer is not simple.
Either way, chances are low of transmission but not impossible.

Hey --- it's HIP to have Monkey sex...

I dunno about the Rhino stuff tho --- sounds a little "horny" to me.

ROFLMAO...

But check it out --- seriously --- PROBABILITY is VERY low....

Monogamous couples have been studied and no KNOWN transmission of HCV from an infected partner to a non-infected partner have been documented.

Have a great day - enjoy sex --- and if you're really worried --- wear a raincoat...
