Hepatitis C/sexual activity
My husband has Hep C and has not been sexually active due to the nature of his disease. However, the last time, the semen was brownish/orange and we want to know what this is and if it needs to be treated.
definitely,should be tested. I think its a serious possible complication of whatever condition your husband has.

Might be worth a doctor visit.

I really don’t know what, if anything brown semen is suggestive of; but I’d want to at least call the doctor and get his/her thoughts on this.
On another note, HCV isn’t really considered a sexually transmitted disease; it’s unusual for it to be passed via sexual intercourse. Many of us in here have had the disease for decades, took no precautions with our spouses/partners, and they remain virus free. The disease requires blood-to-blood transfer to transmit efficiently.
Good luck with everything,
