Hepatitus C & Sex

I apologize in advance for my ignorance on this subject, but if anyone can help, iI would appreciate it very much.
I am in a best friends relationship with a wonderful man who has both Hepatitus B & C. The relationship is starting to turn into more than that, and would like to know more about contracting hep through sex. Since it is a very personal and touchy subject, I really hate to bring it up with him as to hurt him. Thanks so very much for your input.

I have been married for 30 years and had hep c for 35.

I didnt find out I had hep C until 5 years ago.

My wife is negative, as are my two children.

Bills advice above is excellent!!

Bill,

As always, I sincerely appreciate your input on the varying topics in this forum.  You seem very well versed on the subjects addressed.

I have been through 20wifes and fathered 4 children while an active carrier.  None have been effected.

Irisflower 2u,
Best wishes to you.
