There are several ways this can be passed to another person ! A blood transfusion, intravenous drug use, intranasal drug use any type, places where blood is like hospitals labs doctors office's dentist tattooing-----
Sexual contact whether it's genital, oral, anal is extremely inefficient means of HCV transmission, this has failed all tests in saliva, semen, or urine of HCV infected people.But it has the potential to be transmitted through intimate contact::::If there is active bleeding, breaks in the skin, or lining of the mouth, vagina,penis or anus. Break may occur for many reasons with active bleeding herpes,sores or a result of traumatic or rough sex, especially anal sex. This is found in menstrual bloods extra precautions should be taken, use dental dams or condoms during and right after to decrease any chance of transmission particularly if partner has any open sores cuts on penis.Its easier for a man to transmit this than a woman to a man.
The risk of transmitting this to a child is very low occurring only approximately 3-7 percent of the time. Its been found that HCV infected women who have high viral loads ( the amount of HCV viral particles per milliliter of blood) of at least 2 million. If high yo do risk transmission to a newborn baby. If HIV is included higher chances do exist
A peice of mind;;;;;;;;;;
It is not necessary to test infants for the presence of HCVAb during their first 18 months of life. Due to the passive transfer of this antibody from the mother during child birthHCV antibodies will usally be present in the newborn at this time. However this is no way indicates that the infant has hepatitis C. In fact in most cases HCVAb disappears in infants after six months. Transmission is determined by a positive HCVAb in the infant at greater than 18 months of age and/or a detectable HCVRNA level tested after infant is 2 months of age and can confirmed at least twice additionally at intervals of 3 to 4 months apart.
Infants appear to have a high rate of spontaneous remission of HCV In one stydy : up to 75 percent of children cleared HCV spontaneously by two years of age, So it seems chrilden are more likely to spontaneously clear HCV than adults:: However more data is needed before this can be a conclusion , But this may change the thought of haveing a baby Hoped this helped you with your Q,s

HCV is rarely transmitted through sexual intercourse. Is the woman taking meds for HCV? If so, doctors insist that you use 2 forms of birth control to prevent pregnancy, because medication for HCV can cause severe birth defects, including missing or extra limbs.
