Extremely low risk. Hepatitis C has been oversold as an STI. The only proved and common sexual transmission occurs in men having potentially traumatic anal sex practices with other men. In heterosexual men and women, if no potential blood exposure (like shared drug needles), hep C in sex partners is no higher than in the general population, even in relationships of months or years duration.

Unprotected is risky for many diseases. Instead of worrying about HEP-C practice safe sex with everyone.
