If I had hipatitis 30 years ago can you transmit it sexually?
It depends on the type of Hepatitis and the chance would be very, very slim that after 30 years you would transmit. With Hepatitis A, once you're done with it - you're done, and immune for life. No carrier state develops. Hepatitis B - most often once you're done with it, you're immune for life. There is a chance someone can be a carrier of the disease, but it's not a big chance. A doctor can do a simple test to find out of you have active Hep B. Hepatitis C does last throughout your life. I think only 5 - 15% of cases are sexually transmitted, so, not a big chance.
