I am not a medical person but I have volunteered at many different sexual health clinics and come from a medical family.  \nWith that said:  \n\n\n\nHepatitis C is transmitted when the blood or body fluids from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not immune to the disease.\n\nIt can be spread by:\n\nHaving sex with an infected person without a condom (though experts don't know if condoms prevent transmission or just reduce it).\nSharing drugs and needles.\nBeing cut by infected needles (health care workers).\nBirth from a mother to a child.\nHepatitis C is not spread through food, water, or by casual contact.\n\nUnless you are sharing razors and bodily fluids with this guy, you are not in any danger.  You could hug him, kiss him, sit on his lap, hold his hand - all of these, all day long, and you would NOT get the disease.  \n\nIt is also not a form of HIV/AIDS, they are completely different diseases. \n\nI think it is wonderful that you would take someone in, but you should never do anything that you are not completely comfortable with.  You and your family are absolutely safe with this person unless you start sharing needles or having sex.  \n\nI suggest going to www.webmd.com (i've included the link to a Hep C overview), www.wikipedia.org, and asking your family doctor for advice in order to make yourself absolutely comfortable.  \n\nHope it helps!

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that is caught from having unprotected sex with someone who has it....Many women do not have symptoms for Chlamydia and thus it goes untreated for a very long time. If Chlamydia is not treated it will slowly cause more and more scar tissue in a womens reproductive organs, eventually causing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Sometimes PID can be treated with medications and rest, but other times there is too much damage and the woman must have a hysterectomy. So you wife must have had Chlamydia, which in turn caused PID, and thus a hysterectomy.

Yes, you definitely can.   Oral gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, aids, just to mention a few.  Saliva and semen or vaginal fluids are body fluids and are how sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted.  I applaud you for asking and wish more people would before doing this.  Oral sex is sex.  Any contact, genitals to genitals, or mouth to genitals is sexual contact and diseases can be spread this way.  There was a major outbreak or oral gonorrhea in a town near where I live a couple of years ago.  It was tracked back to being originated from a private school and the teenagers who were spreading it like wildfire from one to another didn't feel they were sexually active because they were having oral sex.  Sex is sex, oral or not.  Abstinence is best, but if you aren't going to abstain, PLEASE BY ALL MEANS PROTECT YOURSELF.

Chlamydia (“kla-MID-ee-uh”) is a curable sexually transmitted infection (STI), which is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis. You can get genital chlamydial infection during oral, vaginal, or butt sexual contact with an infected partner. It can cause serious problems in men and women, such as penile discharge and infertility respectively, as well as in newborn babies of infected mothers.\n\nChlamydia is one of the most widespread bacterial STIs in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that more than 3 million people are infected each year.

Yes through vaginal fluids and other fluids.  If I remember correctly the virus cannot live long outside the body, I'm thinking like ten minutes.  I also believe it can be transmitted through breast milk, but i'm not sure.

Gonorrhea is spread through contact with the penis, vagina, mouth, or anus. Ejaculation does not have to occur for gonorrhea to be transmitted or acquired. Gonorrhea can also be spread from mother to baby during delivery.\n\nPeople who have had gonorrhea and received treatment may get infected again if they have sexual contact with a person infected with gonorrhea.\n\ntreatment...\nSeveral antibiotics can successfully cure gonorrhea in adolescents and adults. However, drug-resistant strains of gonorrhea are increasing in many areas of the world, including the United States, and successful treatment of gonorrhea is becoming more difficult. Because many people with gonorrhea also have chlamydia, another sexually transmitted disease, antibiotics for both infections are usually given together. Persons with gonorrhea should be tested for other STDs.\n\nIt is important to take all of the medication prescribed to cure gonorrhea. Although medication will stop the infection, it will not repair any permanent damage done by the disease. People who have had gonorrhea and have been treated can get the disease again if they have sexual contact with persons infected with gonorrhea. If a person's symptoms continue even after receiving treatment, he or she should return to a doctor to be reevaluated.\n\nhis STD is spread through contact with an infected vagina, penis, anus, or mouth. It is spread through semen or vaginal fluids during unprotected sexual contact with a partner who has it. Touching infected sex organs, like the vagina or penis, and then touching your eyes can cause an eye infection. It cannot be passed by shaking hands or sitting on a toilet seat.\n\n\nGood luck to you sweety, i hope that you find out who done this to you!

The biggest problem with chlamydia is that in a large majority of women there are no symptoms, and only a test at a GUM clinic willlet her know she has it. In the cases where there are symptoms there will be a discharge from the vagina, and maybe some burning when peeing. But the fact that there often aren't visible symtpoms is one of the reasons why it is the largest STI- if untreated it can leave a woman infertile, so it is worth getting checked out anyway, just in case

yes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids, including vaginal secretions.

First of all, the chlamydia has damaged your vaginal mucous membrane and it must heal.  Secondly, it takes that long for you to be non-infectious.  You should always use a condom anyway and MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNERS WERE ALSO TREATED AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY TOOK ALL THEIR MEDICATION! That's so they don't reinfect you later.

Chlamydia\n\nChlamydia is the most common STD in the United States, and also the most invisible.\nChlamydia is a microscopic parasite that can cause sterility in women and men. Four million American men and women become infected every year.\n\nIn women, chlamydia infects the cervix and can spread to the urethra, Fallopian tubes and ovaries. It can cause bladder infections and serious pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), sterility and ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants in tissue outside of the uterus, and the placenta and fetus begin to develop there. Up to 40 percent of women with untreated chlamydia will develop PID. Of those with PID, 20 percent will become infertile. In men, chlamydia infects the urethra and may spread to the testicles, causing epididymitis, which can cause sterility.\n\nChlamydia can also lead to Reiter's syndrome, especially in young men. Reiter's syndrome involves eye infections, urethritis and arthritis. \n\n\nSymptoms and how chlamydia is spread\n\nSymptoms of chlamydia include the following:\n\n\nDischarge from the penis or vagina\n\nPain or burning while urinating, more than usual urination\n\nExcessive vaginal bleeding\n\nPainful intercourse for women\n\nSpotting between periods or after intercourse\n\nAbdominal pain, nausea, fever\n\nInflammation of the rectum or cervix\n\nSwelling or pain in the testicles \nSeventy-five percent of women with chlamydia have no symptoms. Many women discover they have chlamydia only because their partners are found to be infected. Other women discover that they must have had it for some time when they are treated for the infertility that it can cause.\n\nIf symptoms appear, they do so in seven to 21 days. If your partner is a man, and he has a urinary tract infection, you may have chlamydia.\n\nOnly one in four men with chlamydia have no symptoms. \n\nChlamydia is spread by vaginal and anal intercourse or from the birth canal to the fetus. In rare cases, it can be spread from the hand to the eye. Condoms offer very good protection against chlamydia.\n\nChlamydia can be confused with gonorrhea and other conditions. Examination of tissue samples or urine is necessary for correct diagnosis.\n\nBoth partners can be treated successfully with antibiotics.

Transmission of a disease depends on which disease it is. Sexual transmission encompasses a lot of things. The root of it is: does the disease spread through skin contact or through fluids?\n\nDiseases that spread by skin contact include crabs (pube lice), scabies, herpes, HPV and syphilis. This means **dry humping** and penetrative sex can transmit the disease. So for those of you who thought it was safe "not to go all the way in," you're wrong.\n\nOther diseases need fluid exchange to travel. These include gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, Hep B and HIV. To get these, you need to engage in unprotected penetrative sex (vaginal or anal).\n\nAnd then there's oral sex. You can spread herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and in rarer instances HIV and yeasts via unprotected oral sex. Use a condom and dental dam for any oral-genital or oral-anal contact.

Hepatitis C is transmitted mainly through exposure to blood. Sexual transmission of Hepatitis C is very uncommon.  Hepatitis C can also be transmitted through sharing Needles.  Basically if your blood comes in contact with her blood then she can get Hepatitis C.  That is why it is always best to use a condom during sex if you have any kind of disease, also the best thing to do is to tell your wife that way she can protect herself and be careful.
