If a woman's monogamous male partner has Hep C, does he need to always wear !


Question: If a woman's monogamous male partner has Hep C, does he need to always wear a condom!?
Research is confusing!. Some sites say to have protected sex no matter what, and others say that if you are monogamous you don't need to practice safe sex!. What is the correct answer, from a medical doctor's viewpoint please!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hep C is very rarely spread sexually, so if she wants to take the small risk, unprotected sex in a completely monogamous relationship should be fine!. However, some women may not want to take that risk!.

Another issue: If her partner is taking medication for Hep C, doctors insist on the use of 2 forms of birth control because the medications can cause severe birth defects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Fact---Hep C is viral
Fact---Hep C is contagious
Fact---Hep C is a blood-borne infectious disease

The information does not vary on those points!. It may vary about sexual transmission between monogamous partners, but given the facts, is it something you are willing to gamble with!? That is only a decision you can make!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, yes and YES!!! You DON'T want a lasting memory/memento from this relationship to be something that can potentially kill you! Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hep C can be spread through sexual contact, but the risk is believed to be low!. It's increased if you another STD or engage in rough sex because it's a blood-borne pathogen!.
