Scared about HCV

I recently had sex with my friend who has hepatitis (I knew his father had it but not him)  Well I am just wondering if you can get HCV through sex ? and what is the likely hood of getting it if he didn't not ejaculate inside of me.  I know it maybe a wierd question but I have been a little worried.  Just thought I could get some input.  Thanx to any one who responds

I know isn't just all so crazy tring to figure out how this
happened to any of us?  My pinpoint is the tattoo, but could it
have been the dentist or the 2 c-sections.  One may never know,but
it's here and we have to fight to get rid of it and to educate friends
and family through our experiences that this can happen to any one.  
Testing for HCV should be a requirement.  I too always thought my fatigue
and muscle pain was just getting old I'm only 39 for gods sake.  Thank god
I found out now and not 20 more years later.

Sexual transmission of Hcv is very rare but possible.  usually sexual transmission is male to female.

HepB is more likely to be transmitted sexually that HepC.

You have nothing to worry about.
It is a blood on blood situation.
My 1st husband of 12 yrs is neg.
my husband now of 8yrs. is neg.

It's very highly unlikely.  
Don't share nail clippers,tooth brushes,razors, cocain or god forbid needles.
Alot of people here got this from tattoo's, blood trans fusions, surgeries in dental offices, manicures ect..
You'll be just fine!
Don't be scared.
If you really want to educate yourself of the disease check this out, lots of information.
