My gynaecologist at Breach Candy told me that yes, Hepatitis B and C can be sexually transmitted. It's one of the common modes. That's why they recommend screening during pregnancy. Always discuss your concerns openly with your doctor for precise and personalized information.

With things like health, it's always good to be cautious. Yes, Hepatitis B and C can be sexually transmitted, among other ways. It's not the only way, but it is one significant route. It's really important to get tested and speak to a doctor about prevention and safety measures, especially if you have concerns.

Well, some types can crash the party through sexual contact, yeah! Like Hepatitis B and C. But Hep A is more about dodgy street food, not your love life. So, it's not a universal 'yes' for all hepatitis types. Just be careful with both your dining and dating!

Yes, specifically Hepatitis B and C can be sexually transmitted, so it's a concern for many. It's why I always recommend getting tested, especially for couples planning a family. Look for health camps or government hospitals; sometimes they offer these screenings at reduced costs or even free.
