I got tested today for it and get my results this wednesday. If i test negative should i retest? So through the urethral you cant get infected if there was blood in her mouth? So theres no risk from the exposure i described? jus move on? Thank you sooo much.

Regardless of what you read on the Internet, there are no established cases of the Hepc virus being transmitted by fellatio under normal circumstances (which means no mouth blood or penis sores) and the urethral opening is not a means by which the hepc virus is transmitted.  

You tested negative at 10 weeks.  Bravo, you are hepc free thus far.  Get an antibody test again at 6 months or have a PCR done because you are obviously not comfortable with your 10 wk negative results.

There is nothing more we can tell you, the ball is in your court.

I'm sorry for the improper language too. Hepc is not considered an STD.  Reading this is 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Just get tested.

If you had sores on your penis and she had blood in her mouth and you knew for certain she was HCV positive than possible but not probable.  No, swallowing semen has no bearing on contracting hepc.  However, if you are infected with hepb she is in danger of contracting the hepb virus from you.

Look, if you can't put it to rest just get tested.  Antibodies for hepc will show up in 3-6 months.  The hepc virus can be detected within 2 weeks using an HCV RNA by PCR test.

What was she doing with blood in her mouth? That's weird.

Anyhow, first off she'd have to be infected, then her blood would have to get into your blood stream some way. That means you would have to have an open wound. If you were exposed it should have shown up by now in your blood tests.

I ejaculated in her mouth and she swallowed. Sorry to put it there. Would that make a difference of contracting Hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is not transmitted by fellatio.  You may want to ask about hepatitis B on the that forum.
