For monogamous partners who do not have sexual intercourse during the woman's period, the risk of contacting hep-c from sexual contact is extremely low. There are many hep-c support groups where one spouse has hep-c and the other one does not. (In those cases the man usually got it in the military from unsanitary vaccination practices or on the police force from pulling people out of wrecks. Or the woman got it from work in the health care field. I have no idea what the story might be among people where promiscuity is a lifestyle.)

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by viruses (hepatitis A, B, C, etc.), alcohol, toxins, or autoimmune diseases. The primary mode of transmission for viral hepatitis is through contact with infected blood or body fluids, sharing contaminated needles, sexual contact, or consuming contaminated food or water.
Is hepatitis highly transmissible?
Hepatitis can vary in transmissibility depending on the type. Hepatitis A and E are primarily spread through contaminated food and water, making them less transmissible in direct person-to-person contact. In contrast, Hepatitis B and C are highly transmissible through blood and bodily fluids, including sexual contact. Therefore, while some forms of hepatitis are highly transmissible, others are less so.
Which type of hepatitis is transmitted through direct contact with contaminated blood and body fluids?
Hepatitis C is the most common chronic blood borne pathogen in the United States. Hepatitis Dcan be found in the blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and other body fluids of people who are infected. Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood and infected bodily fluids.
How is hepatitis transmitted?
Hepatitis A is a communicable (or contagious) disease that spreads from person to person. It is transmitted by the "fecal -- oral route." This does not mean, or course, that Hepatitis A transmission requires that fecal material from an infectious individual must come in contact directly with the mouth of a susceptible individual. It is almost always true that the virus infects a susceptible individual when he or she ingests it, but it gets to the mouth by an indirect route.hepatitis b can transfer through blood,sexual contact,needles..hepatitis a through water
What does hepatitis c come from?
Hepatitis C is primarily caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is transmitted through contact with infected blood. Common routes of transmission include sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia, receiving contaminated blood products, and, less frequently, sexual contact. Additionally, it can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. There is currently no vaccine for hepatitis C, but antiviral treatments can effectively cure the infection.

Using protection, practicing good hygiene, and getting vaccinated can help reduce the risk of hepatitis transmission.
Where do hepatitis b virus found?
Apparently the biggest risk factors for contracting hepatitis b are intravenous drug use, illicit sexual activity and randomly mixing blood...they say to vaccinate children because they could possibly cut themselves on something that is contaminated with the virus, but it is really rare and I don't think you should worry about that.
