Question: Hi, I had a recent relationship with a partner, just like two weeks ago, we kissed open mouth, I have a tiny opening in my lip because its dry (but he did not have any apparent openings or wounds in his lips or mouth), he did oral sex to me, but I did not do to him, we had vaginal sex with double condom while I was just starting my period with light spotting because I was scared of pregnancy so he used double condom, his penis never touched my vagina bare, only covered in condom, and he put his finger inside of me trying to masturbate me. Well he wanted that we go further like I do oral sex to him, but I refused and requested for him to do all STDs tests.

All came back negative except hepatitis C it was positive (he also did the RNA test). The doctor told him it has been like three years approximately since his infection which he says shows from the test. I was shocked and blamed myself of engaging with a man before he does any test. Since we started having vaginal sex (with double condoms) only three days ago, I read that it is too early for me to do the RNA test.

My question is what are the chances of me contracting the virus God forbid based on this, also since I love him, is it possible to live with him normally and have sex with condom, but what about kissing and oral sex, and will it be like playing a russian roulette? and I will be always wondering if I contracted the virus? I tried to read about but they always say there is a small chance, that is really scary :"(( please help

Thank you, what about kissing? I had a tiny opening in my lip with very little blood, you know that of a dry lip, but he didn't have an openings in his lips or sores or anything, also what about what they call fisting? he put his finger inside my vagina, if I continue my relationship with him without sex should I avoid kissing him?

One last question, when should I do the RNA test? we started sating only two weeks ago, and we had sex only about four days ago

please also last question, they say having sex with period is risky, I had little spotting, but I am not the one infected, and he has condom, would me having the period at that time made it more risky? because period is not a wound, is it only risky if the women is the one who has the virus?

thanks

One last thing doctor, please please help me :'(((

I remembered one risky think I did, before yesterday he did the test, he came to my home with a tiny plastic circular bandage (the brown ones) on his inner side of the elbow where they took blood. I was cosy with him and I kissed that his arm over the bandage to show him support.

I remember the blood dot that was on the cotton beneath the brown plastic was visible from above when looking at the bandage. The problem is that the middle of my lip has always this tiny crack due to dry lips, and very tiny little blood, you know the kind of tiny crack that is always there if I don't hydrate my lips properly

so basically my lip with the tiny crack came in contact with plastic bandage covering his wound, but I do remember that there was a tiny circle indicating a blood drop that could be seen visible, I don't know however if it soaked the plastic, or it was just visible, because the plastic should be an insulator

so when I remembered this yesterday I freaked out, because as you said the sexual interaction was not risky, but this incident I don't know, I hate that I was affectionate and kissed his bandage, how stupid of me :"(((
