      The only way to know for sure is to be tested. Go to your doctor or local health department so you can be tested. Please refraim from having sex with anyone else until after you get the results. The last thing you want to do is pass this virus onto another person. Save them the worry and fear that you are feeling right now. I hope you receive negative results.

        Isn't the expression "Better safe than sorry".  It's sounds as if you are "Better sorry than safe".

          Hepatitis C is not an STD, even though most people think that it is. It is a disease of the liver. It is very rare to contract Hep C through sexual intercourse. The risks involved increase greatly with anal sex. Hep C is contracted through blood to blood contact only. If you and your significant other have open wounds in your private areas, yes you can contract the disease. Numerous individuals in relationships with others that have Hep C have had unprotected sex for decades and the other never once contracted the disease. As long as you are careful and do not have sex during her menstrual cycle, you will have nothing to worry about. Even if you do contract the disease, your own immune system can fight off the disease as long as you do have a strong immune system and take very good care of yourself.

                You will be most unlikely infected - just check it out with the family planning clinic annoymous or have a blood test remember as with HIV  the test results do not appear immediately they have to be repeated - right now I am sorry, not in a postition when I can conclusively check this out for you. Having been suspended by Colleen saying that homeopathy can treat HEP C with affidavits I  still cannot believe this along with my Doctor friends. As I said unlikely - see Doctor.

                  normynormy - do not take this for real but HEP C is transferred blood to blood - I am so sorry - I feel this is correct but have not been able to substantiate it right now. I am somewhat at a lose myself due to circumstances - forgive me. Hope this helps. Do not fear you are very welcome.

                  Dopey - off the subject but I can't believe you were suspended by Colleen for saying something like that. There must be more to it.

                  Yes it really did happen she suppended me 24/5/ SEPT, 2011 plus her e-mails - there was more to it but she was so against what I had to say it was related initially to flu vaccinations which I now realize we were at cross purpose - as out regime is so very different in the UK which I have since stated. She also said I spent too much time over the debate and email me all these things about my insulting her character - all quite bizarre - when on and on but the affidats she said she had to prove HEP C be cured by homeopathy which she felt I was against - quite the opposite it has it's place but if there were such a thing for HEP C the WHO whould use this for sure and nothing to do with profit. Oh it was amazing and my Doctor friends could not believe this. From 2 to 3% of black americans have this trait like sickle ceel or thallaseamia which affects the mediterain population. It is a tyoe of anaemia, Spread I am not sure of and will ask my Doctor frind who is a microbiologist. You see HEPB is different to Hep c as HEP B has a vaccination and Hep C no vaccination has been developed yet. Medical professionals always have their HEP B levels done yearly as they handle blood and therefore need to have a greater degree of immunity.

Thank you for asking.

                  Only a visit to your doctor; and a generous dose of common sense would help too.While daren1 is correct you or your partner could have very small abrasions or other unoticeable breaks in the skin leading to a potential blood to blood transfer.An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure!

                    There is a possibility of it but your chances of having it are slim. HEP C is a blood to blood contact disease, so the only real chance of you having it is if both of you had cuts on your genitals. The main thing id be worrying about is if this girl is capable of contracting a disease like this, what else could she have.

                      Swapping bodily fluids is how you get Hep. It won't show for several months I'm told.
