Through blood and other fluids like semen and vaginal fluids. But sexual contact is not the most common transmission form for Hep C. That's very rare. Sharing needles is the most common way people pass on Hep C.

answer one above is wrong since hep c is a blood borne disease like HIV
yes is the correct answer.
Among monogamous couples hep C can very rarely be transmitted between two partners but you have to remember this might also be due to sharing needles and not just from sexual contact.
In a person with hep C having sex with many partners then chances of giving the disease to others is much higher than in a monogamous relationship.

Blood to blood transmission is the most common way. My son and dau-in-law both have HepC. Classes we used to go to when they were first diagnosed 7 yrs ago warned non-infected men to not have unprotected sex if an infected woman was on her period.
btw: any other questions/support needed online, try www.hepcnet.net A good bunch of people there... been going there for 6 yrs...

Absolutely. It is transmitted the same way other blood-borne diseases are: transfusion, needle sharing and sexual contact.

HCV is transmitted via blood. Open cuts. You would be suprised how many places blood can be exchanged. Transfusions, shared needles, etc.

It is transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids. Ask your family doctor.....
