Can you get hepatitis c from sex?

There is less possibility of getting Hepatitis C through sex, but there is some percentage of possibility of spreading this disease. If a healthy person makes a relationship with a person suffering from hepatitis C, then he also remains at risk of getting infected. This happens in the following circumstances -

• If there is more than one sex partner.
• By having rough sex, which there is a possibility of skin bursting or bleeding.
• On having sex without safety i.e. condom and dental dam.
• If the partner has a sexually transmitted infection or HIV.

There is no evidence that Hepatitis C can be spread through oral sex. This can be possible only when blood is present somewhere on the body of the person doing oral sex or the sex partner. This risk is possible in the following ways -

• Menstrual bleeding
• Bleeding gums
• Throat infection
• Cold sores
• Warts on genitals
• Cut elsewhere on the skin

There is a higher risk of getting hepatitis C through anal sex than through oral sex. This is because, according to a 2013 study, rectal tissue is more prone to tearing during intercourse.
