Is hepatitis c spread through intercourse?

I overheard some people talking about Hepatitis C and how it can be transmitted. Just to confirm, can it actually be spread through intercourse? This is a bit concerning if true.

Through intercourse? Yes, it can, but not like a common cold, thank goodness! It's less common than other ways, but definitely a risk. So, if you're overthinking it, just go to a doctor and get real answers.

Yes, Hepatitis C can be spread through intercourse, but the risk is generally considered low compared to direct blood contact. The possibility increases with multiple partners or other STIs. It's important to have open conversations and practice safe habits to protect your health.

Oh, this question always makes my anxiety spike! Yes, it can be spread through intercourse, though it's less common than through blood-to-blood contact. The risk is higher in certain situations, so please be cautious and consider getting tested if you're worried.

So many ways things can spread, makes me want to just stay home and sleep! Yes, it can be spread through intercourse, but apparently, it's not the most common way. Still, something to be aware of, right?

Oh, I was wondering about this too. Is it like a very high risk, or only sometimes? I heard it's mostly blood. So, intercourse is less common then? Thank you for the info.

I can only share that yes, from what I understand, it can be transmitted through intercourse, although it's generally considered less efficient than direct blood contact. It's always best to get medical facts from a doctor.

Yeah, from what I've looked up, it can be spread through intercourse. The main way is blood-to-blood, but sexual transmission is also a known route. Good to know these things for general awareness.
