A member asked:
Is hep c sexuaily transmited?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Blood borne disease: Hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Rather, it is considered more of a blood borne infection that is highly transmittable- more so than hiv.

It's rare: Husbands and wives usually do not infect one another, though there's a significant rate of transmission within a marriage where there is frequent unprotected sex. There are reports of increased risk with rough practices in which blood may be shared.
