Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Hepatitis C is usually spread through blood from the person having it.
2. The transmission of hepatitis C by sexual intercourse alone is less.
3. However if the woman is hepatitis C positive and had unprotected sex during her periods and she was bleeding at that time then the chances of disease transmission are slightly higher as compared to sex during other times and especially if the titer for hepatitis C antibodies is on the higher range. Please get tested for hepatitis after 6 months from date of exposure to get a conclusive report.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

You can get one test done now but have to take test after 6 months is over

Hi,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. Since it is 3 months therefore you can get tested once right now. If the result is negative then you have to take the test again after 6 months are over from date of exposure.
In conclusion, testing after 6 months for hepatitis C is important if earlier test is negative.
Hope your query is answered.
