Hep C: It is so much out of the realm of possibility that kissing and touching would transmit hepatitis c that i can tell you that you do not need to spend even a second worrying. Hepatitis c is not transmitted sexually except in one special population with immune weakness. Catching hepatitis c is all about exposure to infected blood. I would protect against his semen as well just to be sure.
