Very high if one of you has Hepatitis C. And the woman is most likely to contract it from the man.

It is a common misconception that hepatitis C is a venereal disease. IT IS NOT. There is NO risk as far as contracting it through unprotected monogamous heterosexual sex. It is spread through IV drug use and tainted blood back before 1992 when blood wasn't tested. You can also get hep C through dirty tattoo needles and by sniffing coke with infected paraphenalia.

Hepatitis C is a blood borne pathogen. In other words, it is spread from blood to blood, NOT through semen or vaginal fluid. The risk of sexual trasmission is low among monogamous couples; less than 5%. If your sexual practices involve sticking each other with pins or needles, then the risk is high, but for typical, "normal" sex it is unlikely.

About the 5 times the risk as aids. Actually Hepatitis C is much easier to spread than aids, and it cha be gotten though being close to someone sneezing, coughing, losing body waste or fluids(like changing a diaper), sharing not only dirty needles but also food, clothes, and handling things an infected person handles. kissing, hugging or other close contact.

The risk is a HIGH one, Having unprotected sex with an infected person you run the risk of being Infected as well. A very DANGEROUS COMBINATION. Having unprotected sex with anyone you one the risk of contacting any and everything if that individual has anything (germ) that is deadly contagious that can be passed through sex, Any STD's HIV, HPV, Hepatitis A B & C; Herpes Oral & Genital. It is not worth it, Protect yourself unless you are trying to die.

The answers to this question show why you shouldn't seek medical advice from goofballs on yahoo answers. The RN has it right. The risk of spread through unprotected sex is minimal.

Hep C in carried in blood, semen, and vaginal fluid, so your chances of spreading it to your partner without protection are very hight. In fact, the virus is much smaller than that of Hep B or HIV, so it's infectivity is greater.

The risk of transmission through sex may be higher among men who have sex with men. The risk is also increased if there are genital sores or ulcers from a sexually transmitted infection, or if either person also has HIV.
If your partner has hepatitis C, you should be tested for the condition.
