A member asked:
My boyfriend just told me he has hepatitis c we had sex once so how long should i wait before i go to doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When was sex?: After a risky exposure, it can take 3-6 months for hepatitis c antibodies to be detectable. But you might want to get tested now to see if you already have hcv. Heterosexual vaginal sex has a low risk of hcv transmission, so you will want to talk to your boyfriend and your doctor about how to be safely intimate.
