Hepatits C risk?

How is Hepatitis C sexually transmitted? i've never had ana; or vaginal sex, and did not perform oral sex, only received unprotected oral sex and engaged in deep open mouth kissing, was fingered ad that's it. is that risky for hepatitis C? i have never shared needles, so what is this risk?

if you read my post i am sure you read that i was thinking you were or are being molested that is why i suggested that you call a rape crisis line tonight asap today right now do not wait call....  i for one do not know what your culture is you did not say.  i said you  "should" be fine.  now that you have shared that you were molested that is why i suggested you call or confide in someone either your school counselor, teacher,  i say this with confidence that people in authority are going to look out for you and not the one who molested you.  are you in the united states can you say what area you are in.  i promise i will look for a phone number for counselors in your area who specialize in situations such as yours. please do not give up you have done nothing wrong.  the person doing this to you is the one who should be punished and reprimended for his actions.

i am guessing that you are a very young person with  some questions that are either a prank or you are being molested by someone.  you speak as a young person that in the first place should not be experimenting with sex if you are not even sure how disease and or viruses such as hep a b c, hiv, std's are transmitted.  i would talk to a counselor at you school or call your local health dept and ask them what you have described in this group and see if they can give some info that will help you.  yes most counselors are confidential to the point that if they feel a person could be in iminent danger will they report their findings to the appropriate authourities..  talking to your mother at this time would be good thing if that is possible, if not talk to a very close friend, grandma etc.

do not worry i think you will be fine.  let us know how this comes out.


ps.i almost forgot you can look in the phone book or ask information for your local rape crisis line and you can call them tonight and they are confidential and can answer the same questions you are asking in this gorum, hope this helps

OK here is how you can receive Free, Confidential, Therapy. Every time you get one of these thoughts hit your thumb with a hammer. When it quits throbbing and the thoughts return, hit it again. Be sure not to tell anyone.
