Some types of hepatitis are sexually transmitted disease (STDs). The viruses that cause them are present in a person's blood, semen, and body fluid. Hepatitis A, B, and C all can be passed from an infected person to another during sexual contact.
Hepatitis B is the one type of hepatitis that is most often spread through sexual contact. Hepatitis A can be spread through anal/oral contact. Researchers don't know exactly how hepatitis C is spread. But, they do know that hepatitis C is hard to get through sexual contact.
To help reduce your risk of getting hepatitis sexually, use a male condom with every act of vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse. And, talk with your health care provider about getting a vaccine (an injection of a drug that you get when you are healthy that will protect you from getting sick) for hepatitis A and hepatitis B. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C.

Hepatitis is generally considered a STD. It can be spread through any contact with blood, semen or other bodily fluids.

Hep B can be sexually transmitted.
Hep C is completely blood to blood transmission, and it is very rare (although it has happened) to spread it through sexual intercourse. There has to be blood involved..there has to be blood transferred from one persons body to the others. (this does not mean just getting blood on you from the infected person)....
