HCV doesn’t produce antibodies; they are produced by immune response.

HCV is not transmitted efficiently via sexual intercourse. It is vectored by blood to blood contact. In instances such as rape or when trauma is present during sex, it is thought to be more readily transmitted.

There are numerous reasons to use barrier contraceptives; their use will help remove anxiety in the future,
