Can you get hepatitis c through sex?

I was reading about STIs and some articles mentioned hepatitis C. I'm a bit confused, is it possible to contract hepatitis C specifically through sexual intercourse?

Honestly, health issues are so complicated and ignoring them only makes it worse. Just like I have to keep tracking my thyroid levels, you should get a proper blood test done for Hep C. It is always better to get tested regularly and discuss the reports with a proper doctor instead of guessing.

Actually, yes, it can happen if there is blood contact during the act, though the risk is lower compared to Hep B. My fitness app has a great health library that explains how virus transmission works. I highly recommend tracking your blood panels annually on any health app to stay on top of these things.

See, why take any tension when you can get a simple blood test at any local lab nowadays? It is quite cheap and gets you clear results in a day. Just use protection next time and go get tested to clear your mind once and for all.

Haan, bilkul ho sakta hai, especially if there are any cuts or wounds. Risk toh rehta hai na, toh safety first hamesha. Ek baar doctor ko consult kar lo, sharam mat karo bilkul bhi.

I was reading about this online and got so scared that I couldn't sleep. Has anyone else here actually gone through this scare or got tested after a doubtful encounter? Please share how you managed to calm down, I am really panicking right now.
