A member asked:

I learned that my boyfriend has hep c. we had unprotected sex while i on my period. i know it's not an std but what is the chance of it being passed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hep C can be an STD: The most common way Hepatitis C is spread is by sharing needles with someone who has hepatitis C. But you can also get it by having sex with someone who has it. You are at some risk of acquiring this infection anytime you have sex with someone who has hepatitis C. This risk can be lowered (but not to zero) by wearing condoms. Other methods of contraception offer little protection. Best wishes
