Hepatitis C Information

Can Hepatitis C be spread sexually?

Unlike Hepatitis B and HIV it is very rare for the infection to be transmitted sexually.

• If you have a long-term sexual partner, you may want to talk together about him/her being tested for Hepatitis C, even though the risk of infection is very low.
• If you are having sex with someone new, use a condom. (This will also reduce the risk of getting Hepatitis B or HIV)
