Transmission occurs when blood from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not infected.  \nHCV is spread through sharing needles or "works" when "shooting" drugs, through needlesticks or sharps exposures on the job, or from an infected mother to her baby during birth.

The obvious question of "Why?" aside, urine is generally considered to be sterile (no bacteria or fungus).  It is usually an indication of urinary or kidney infection if there are blood cells or infectious agents (bacteria or fungus) in the urine.\n\nIt is possible for the urine to become contaminated with bacteria and fungi when it comes in contact with skin (penis, foreskin, labia, etc.)  \n\nContrary to other suggestions, antibodies can be found in the urine (there is an IgG HIV antibody test that detects the presence of HIV antibodies in the urine).  However, HCV antibodies in your wife's urine would not cause them to appear in your blood.  Is your wife's HCV RNA undetectable by the most sensitive assay available after treatment?  If so, then there is no risk of transmission of HCV.\n\nThere are a number of fetish sites for those into "golden showers"  I'm sure you can find more info with a quick web search.

How is Hepatitis B transmitted?\n\n    * Hepatitis B is transmitted directly and indirectly through infected body fluids such as blood, semen, and vaginal secretions; the infection can also be picked up through mucous membranes and broken skin 5\n    * Although hepatitis B is commonly transmitted by sexual contact, it can also be picked up through\n          o Exposure to the blood of an infected person through contact sports\n          o Repeatedly sharing an infected person's razor, toothbrush or earrings 4\n          o Travel to a high-risk area\n          o Use of illicit injectable drugs\n          o Potentially through contaminated needles used for tattooing or piercing 2 \n    * About one third of those infected do not know the source of their infection 5 \n\nhope that helps and gives you some peace of mind.

get tested immediately- know that you could have had it way before him. Symptoms aren't obvious and they don't always show.  I have heard that 80% of women carry the virus nowadays, so there is no  way to track it to one partner.  Protect yourself!

HEPATITIS C is contracted through blood-to-blood contact. Things to ask: Risky sex, acupuncture without proper autoclaving of needles (ask if needles are disposable-safest), Tattooing with repeat needle use, Using someone elses razor, needle stick of used needle,.There are vaccinations for hep. A, and hep. B, but none for Hep. C.  There are, however, treatments. Hep. C may lie dormant for years, so early detection is best if you suspect you've been infected. There are more behaviors that cause C., so I would suggest that you research yourself. Call your local health dept., and they will provide you with all the information you need. They will advise you as to whether you should be tested. Contact your physician, too\n\nAsking or answering any medical question online, is very dangerous. You will find that laymen, or people who are not qualified to do either, will anyway. They don't seem to get  the picture of possibly putting someone in great medical danger. There is no substitute for education. One of my concerns is that many of these people think that they really do know what they're talking about, and you are likely to choose an answer from one of them, and take their advise. So, I would advise anyone reading this to stop giving unprofessional opinions, as that is all they are. Remember, as well, that giving medical advise without a license, is a federal offense.Even as a professional, I give nothing but direction. This is not my field. That's why I suggested that you get your answers from the ones who are better qualified.

No, not until it is completely cleared up. The infection can (and in most cases, will) spread to your husband. \n\nTalk to your doctor about treatment, follow-through with the treatment, and abstain from sex until you (and your doctor) are sure it is gone.

You can only contract Hepatitis C through the blood. Kissing and licking are all good as long as neither one of you are kissing or licking any open wounds. Protection is not need for intercourse...like I said, it's only contracted through blood.

Cervical cancer is caused by HPV, but so far as I am aware there still isn't a link between sexually transmitted infections and other cancers. \n\nWithout knowing how agressive your sister's cancer is, it's impossible to say how long she's had it - but it seems likely that she's had it since before she got married, if it is so advanced that they can't do anything surgically to treat it. \n\nMy sympathies.

Hepatitis C can not be cured.  Talk to your doctor and keep an eye on your liver.

Hep C is easier to catch than AIDS..Bodily fluids like \n\nsaliva and tears can do it if exposure is prolonged.  Seek \n\nmedical advise and find out what your boyfriend is doing \n\nabout treatment.\n\nGood Luck\n\nJimmy

People pull away from people with Hep C the same reason they pull away from people with HIV/AIDS.  I think it's a mixture of ignorance, personal protection, and fear.  Some people make blanket statements when it comes to dealing/interacting with people with infectious diseases...if I stay I away then I will not contract their disease.  Unfortunately, a person is more likely to remain ignorant than embrace education and understanding.  Personally, I think is easier to love and support a person than it is to ignore and cut someone out of your life!

Highly unlikely but yes any open orifice is. \n\nFacts (Quoted):\nHIV is transmitted through sexual contact, through direct blood-to-blood contact such as sharing needles or syringes, or perinatally from mother to child before, or during birth or through breastfeeding. HIV has been transmitted through transfusions of infected blood or blood-clotting factors, but that rarely happens now because of improved donor screening. ("Facts About The Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Its Transmission [Facts About HIV]," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nHIV enters the body through open cuts or sores or breaks in the skin, through mucous membranes or through direct injection. Epidemiologic evidence implicates only blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk as means of transmission ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nHIV is not transmitted by donating blood or from animals, food, inanimate objects, insects, urine, feces or water ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nContact with saliva, tears or sweat has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV, according to the CDC. HIV is found only in extremely tiny quantities in saliva and tears from some AIDS patients. HIV has not been found in sweat ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nA state health department conducted an investigation of an incident and found a possible case of blood-to-blood transmission of HIV by a human bite. Although uncommon, other reports in the medical literature suggest cases of transmission by a bite. Severe trauma with the presence of blood and extensive tissue damage were reported in each of the instances. The CDC has found no cases of HIV transmission clearly attributable only to saliva. The CDC has found numerous reports of bites that did not cause HIV infection ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nNo one has been identified as infected with HIV as a result of contact with an environmental surface ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nClosed-mouth or "social" kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. The CDC investigated only one case of HIV infection attributable to possible contact with blood during open-mouthed kissing. However, the risk of acquiring HIV during open-mouthed kissing is thought to be very low ("Facts About HIV," HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nInsects do not transmit HIV. According to studies conducted by researchers at the CDC and other places, a variety of factors make it impossible for insects to transmit HIV, even in areas where there are many cases of HIV and large populations of insects. An insect, such as a mosquito, does not inject its blood or the blood of a previously bitten person when it bites. HIV does not reproduce or survive in insects. Insect mouths do not retain enough blood on their surfaces to transmit from one person to another, and insects normally do not travel from one person to the next immediately after taking in blood ("Facts About HIV,"HIV/AIDS Prevention, CDC, July 1997). \nThere is strong evidence that other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) increase the risk of HIV transmission three- to five-fold. The presence of other STDs in the body increases HIV susceptibility in women by increasing the cells targeted by HIV (CD4 cells) in cervical secretions. The presence of STDs also increases the infectiousness of HIV ("The Role of STD Testing and Treatment in HIV Prevention," CDC, April 1997).

It all comes down to cleanliness. The hep B and C thrive in conditions which are unsanitary...;

yes you can. it is not a sexualy transmited disease but it can be transmitted sexual.  but just because you got it does not mean he gave it to you.  some times it just happens on its own.

There are several diseases one can get from doing what you did, not the least of which is AIDS or Hepatitis B or C, depending on how sterile the needle was and who used it for what. You need to see a doctor.

no because hep c comes from sharing needles, and if u are just reusing the needles on urself its ok, but if u re-use them too much they get blunt and bend and stuff so its easier to bruise and bleed and they hurt more if they where new needles . .
