Possible transmission of HCV through mentrual blood?
Hey I just recently found out that I had sex with a hep c positive girl while she was menstruating. Is it possible that I could get it? I know it’s blood to blood contact but I am curious if the urethra leads to the bloodstream.
I do know the levels she has are very low, thanks in advance, just trying not to freak out

Is your friend aware there are now newer treatments available that are very effective at treating hepatitis C. These new medicines became available beginning in 2014. These treatments are very effective, well tolerated by most patients, and boast cure rates higher than 98% for the majority of people with hepatitis C infections. If she gets treated she will very likely no longer be infected with hepatitis C.
