Welcome to the forum. The risk is extremely low. I have had the same partner for over twenty years. They didn't get hepatitis C. It sound like you are aware of how hepatitis C is transmitted.....by blood. But the other person who has hepatitis C would have to have a open cut to infect you. Hepatitis C isn't that easy to get.
Hope this is helpful
i've read up alot on it & i knew it was very low me n him have been on & off for 10 years and he don't really know how he was infected i think im just freaking myself out here thanks alot
Hi there. I know your worried but most likely you will be fine. As dontworry as said it's rare to spread the virus sexually. I was married for 20+ years and had 2 children via natural childbirth. No one in my family has it. In fact I didn't know I had it also so we never used protection.
If the thought that you may get it is scarey, then you should get tested for piece of mind.
I wish you well

Kim is 100% correct. HCV is only transmitted by somehow getting an infected person's blood mixed with your own. HCV via vaginal intercourse is not impossible, however there are documented cases. Although unusual, a small amount of blood can be present intermittently in male ejaculate. I would use protection until your significant other can get his HCV eradicated via treatment. Best to be safe, a simple HCV antibody blood test will reveal if you have been exposed, which is HIGHLY unlikely, but the chances do increase w/ unprotected anal intercourse, or as mentioned, during the menstrual cycle. For the sake of your serenity, get tested and use condoms until your mate has cleared the virus. mac
