A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hep C not an STI: Hepatitis C is not considered an STI or STD. It is uncertain how often or how easily healthy people actually catch Hepatitis C through sexual activities. The current opinion is that Hep C can be transmitted through sexual activities, but that transmission doesn't happen very much, so not to worry. A person should stay safe and avoid blood contact and avoid other STD's.
