Answer 1

hcv discriminates against no age, no person, no country. no one is safe from hcv because there are many circumstances that can lead up to getting hcv.

hcv is blood to blood transmission. most of those that have one partner affected by hcv do not both have hcv. reason being is because hcv can only infect another through contaminated blood and the blood would have to enter the bloodstream of the other in order for hcv infection to take place.

sexual intercourse as long as there is no blood present poses no risk at all. semen, vaginal fluid, saliva, tears contain "corpuscles"-these are NOT transferrable, nor contagious.

you are getting the wrong information about hcv and how it is acquired.

as for your aunt having another baby and she is not infected with hcv, there is no way the baby could be born with hcv.

chances of household exposure poses the real riskiness in a family that has a member infected with hcv. do not share anything that would have blood on it, this includes, but not limited to: sharing toothbrushes, razors or scissors, knives ect.....
anything that could have fresh or dried blood on it can tranmsit if someone accidentaly used the wrong toothbrush or razor and they cut themselves with it.

hcv is blood to blood only.

as for your uncle? with hcv infection comes depression and other mental disease. having a wife that does not understand the disease does not help.

i think the whole family needs to hear the correct issues regarding hcv.

have you been tested? chances are most people have one risk factor....peircings, dental visits, operations, mass innoculation, paper cuts, ect ect ect.....

most do not know they have hcv.

Answer 2

Unfortunetely, travelling will not get you away from HepC, although the prevalence of Hep C in North America and North Europe are less than they would be in india (unless if you have an arranged marriage with someone who has just moved from a high-risk area.)
Hep C spread requires blood to blood contact, so sexual transmission CAN occur, but it is not extremely common.
The best advice I could think to give you is talk to your potential partner about your concern, and see if he will agree to a blood test for HepC. Another important note is that 90% of HepC infections don't have any symptoms, so if you are very concerned about the disease, you may also want to have a blood test. But I understand that access to these health care facilities may not be available where you are, or there may be cultural taboos surrounding the issue as well.

Check out the WHO website, or wikipedia. They have some good information about transmission and prevalence.
