| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 Hepatitis C is not really well transmitted sexually. If there is blood to blood contact and your tongue ring might increase that likelihood, then indeed it might increase the chances from near zero to slightly higher. However the chances are still very low. Good luck and be careful! DTD | ||||||||
