 None of these figures are in stone - the bottom line is that acquiring hepatitis C through sex is uncommon but not zero. Condoms brings the risk to zero. Risk factors for transmission of HCV sexually include having traumatic anal sex and sex during a time of ulceration with STDs since this increases the chance of blood to blood exposure. | ||||||||
