Can you contract hepatitis c from vaginal sex?

Yes, not common though, risk believed to be somewhat lower. For reliable information regarding Hep C transmission check cdc.gov.

You can, though the risk is low. Using a condom will provide reasonable protection. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
