Is hepatitis c sexually transmitted?

Everywhere i look either people say yes it's sexually transmitted or else they say it's only blood contact?? So which is it? Can you please cite your source??

Both answers are correct. You can get Hepatitis C by either blood contact or sexually transmitted. Since Hepatitis affects the liver, you should avoid alcohol or tylenol products. There are several web sites out there about Hepatitis. Go to www.health.ivillage.com, or just type in Hepatitis C and several web sites will come up.

yes also can be transmitted via blood. i know of someone who got it by sharing dollar bill and cut with nose while doing drugs.
No, it isn't.

People really need to educate them selves about this condition before mis informing people.

It is transmitted Via Blood.

Safe sex should be practised especially if inittiating in rough sex

It is a blood born disease and many people live with the condition have kids and patners without passing it onto their patner and only find out during a blood test.

Care should always be taken but no, you will not catch it if you have sex with someone who has HCV

The rate of infection with the one steady partner per year is 0% if you have more than one sexual partner the rate increases very slightly to 0.6%

And if you go to a Doctor who actually know's the disease and doesn't just look it up on the web they will tell you the same thing.

It also is not listed anymore on the STD list.
It's very rare but better to be safe than sorry.I got it from sharing needles 20 yrs ago.It is transmitted through blood.But still use protection there is HIV.
