A member asked:
Can i get hepatitis b or c from unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hep B yes, C maybe: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is often an STD, but at age 20, your childhood vaccines should have included the hepatitis B vaccine; if so, you are immune. Hep C is controversial. The only proved sexual transmission is between men have rectal sex with other men. Although sometimes called an STD in heterosexuals, and contrary to common beliefs, HCV is no more common in sex partners of infected persons.
