| Response from Dr. Dieterich
 If you are talking about heterosexual vaginal intercourse (every night? Wow!) the chances are low, but not zero. There is some indication that there are very low amounts of HCV in semen, which is not very important if there is no blood exposure. Transmission from man to woman is likely to more frequent than the other way around. It is not perfectly safe, but nothing is. DTD | ||||||||
