How safe is a wife
May 14, 2006

How safe is a wife who's husband has Hep C and insist on wanting to french kiss and have oral sex.

The transmission of hepatitis C through sexual intercourse is uncommon. The risk of transmission is increased with traumatic sexual intercourse.

I would not consider oral sex a risky behavior for transmission of hepatitis C.
