LOL that is a good one Mouse :)

My ex had it but I also had too many sources to have gotten it from myself than to blame it on him.  Neither of my kids do.

Just practice what's known as safeR sex (with the R at the end) and you should be just fine.

I was married for 12 years.  Got it probably 20+ years ago.  Neither my ex and my son who is 14 now have it!

male.married 28 years . probably positive 35 years . found out I had hep c just 5 years ago.
wife and kids tested negative.

a friend of mine (male) did have it transmitted from his wife.if you think about it, thats probably more likely as a male would be  more likely to come in contact with a female partners blood than vice versa
