Hello. : Hello. I can not tell you if you have the hepatitis c virus. It is normally transmitted through blood. If you were in a long term relatioship you would want to avoid sharing razors, or things which might be contaminated with blood. Hepatitis c transmission from semen would be very rare. See your doctor to get tested if you are worried.
