I had sex a couple years ago with a girl who I have heard might possibly have Hep c. While we were having sex she started bleeding. I didn't notice any cuts on my privates. I was wondering what the chance is that I may have caught it. I haven't had blood work for a couple of years and plan on going soon anyway. But is there a great risk or is it mainly with a needle because it goes right into the blood stream? Thank you

Having sexual intercourse with hep c positive what would risk be?
Featured Answer
the last answer was accurate.
Hep B is rampant among IV drug users. even sharing a needle one time will often result in an infection. this is one of my areas of specialty. so i'm acutely aware of this unfortunate fact.
you can be married to a Hep B+ spouse; have a normal sex life and still be at a low risk of getting Hep B.
so the likelihood of being infected by a one time sexual exposure would be close to the risk of being struck by lightning.

If you are HIV negative, then your risk is very, very low. Even couples who have been in long term sexual relationships almost never transmit the hepatitis c virus to their partner. However, that being said, you are clearly concerned. Just get the test. It is quick and easy.
Best of luck!
