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

Hmmmm, maybe if your outdoors in a thunderstrom, or if your roof is leaking. But if i went to bed wearing a raincoat i don't think my wife would stop laughing.
