Yes. The Hepatitis C virus can be circulating in the blood. There are times when the virus may not be at very high levels, which reduces the risk, but usually the viral levels are detectable. Most HCV infections occur due to contact with someone in the chronic phase.

Hepatitis is contagious blood to blood. Normal sexual practices rarely are the culprit of passing the virus in the dormant stage I would assume it is verry unlikely as your blood would have a very low virus count. mine didnt event show up on the the tests I took for blood work. I found out yesterday I do have Hep C. I have to have it confirmed, but it would explain alot about the way I fell physically> LOVE LOVE LOVE , 420dan
