    The only way she would know if she contacted Hep C is to have a blood test done. I'm not sure about the oral sex but I think she could get it this way. She can ask them that when she has the blood work done. She really needs to know if she has it.

    The only way to diagnose Hep C is to have a blood test to check the liver's ALT and AST serum levels, and then if necessary, follow up by having a liver biopsy. Your friend will have to visit their doctor if they want a definite answer. Additionally, your friend should make sure her boyfriend's condom is properly placed on his penis prior to sexual intercourse. The transmission rate for Hep C via oral activity is extremely low.

    Yes you can get it; even through oral. Go to a doctor and get tested and if it is negative, go again in 6 months for a recheck

    You can get the STD/STI through any and all sexual contact.

    So its more dangerous for the person doing the person orally, but the person its being done to can also get one.

    The only reason you'd REALLY know if she went to go see a doctor and got it checked out.

  • 1 decade ago

    Ok, first of all stop with this "my friend BS" YOU did this and it's blatantly obvious to everyone here that you're talking about yourself.

    It's unlikely you got it just from that but it wouldn't hurt to get checked out.

    Sorry, lecture anyway, by having sex with this guy you're playing with your life. And yes, you can get it through oral or anal too.
