Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Inbolving in sexual intercourse can trasmit Hep C ...it is not transmitted in urine or oral sex usually but during unprotected intercourse it can trasmit through skin week sites and friction rubs.

I would ask you not to panic best thing you can do is to get Hep C tested through ELISA after 3 months of this sexual contact. Till then there is nothing to worry about plus there are no symptoms expected to appear any soon.

I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.
