Brandye is a jewel in the rough
Hep C transmission requires sharing of blood, not just blood products such as semen. Sex in monogamous relationships is very, very unlikely to result in infection of the healthy partner. The risk is higher sharing razor blades. If, however, there is an open would, the risk jumps greatly. Because anal sex can result in some bleeding, the risk is higher than with vaginal sex.

There is a lot of miscommunication and half-truth floating around that claims it is an STD. Not so.

Good post oaktree.
