A member asked:

How common is it for people to get hepatitis c if they already have herpes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Slightly increased: Hepatitis c is only rarely transmitted via sexual contact. But, sores such as herpes or syphilis can increase the transmission. Condoms might help protect against transmission. If you are concerned it is important to be tested.
