Can Autoimmune Hepatitis Be Transmitted Through Sexual Contact?

Question: my boyfriend has the beginnings of liver problems and is on ursodiol and now Cipro and Flagyl. We enjoy oral sex but since I found this out (he is 62 and a former drinker) I am concerned about this. we use condoms. What is best practice on oral sex at th is point. Sorry to be graphic. He has an enlarged liver and autoimmune hepatitis (I am told not contagious). It's all a bit scary.

thank you, doctor.
autoimmune hep you wrote is not contagious "as far as sexual practices" Is it contagious in other instances I need to know? I will ask about any hep B and C tests being performed.

Hi again
Autoimmune hepatitis is not contagious, it is brought about due to autoimmune status. As I stated, hepatitis B and C are highly contagious with sexual practices.
Thanks
