Patient's question:
My girlfriend was diagnosed with acute hepatitis C. She received treatment for a year, and the results were very good. Now, when she went to the hospital for a check-up, the results showed normal levels. Can you spread it through sex?Doctor's answer:
The main route of transmission for hepatitis C is blood transmission. It is usually only possible for hepatitis C to be transmitted during surgery. Sexual transmission of hepatitis C is more common among male homosexuals. Couples generally do not transmit it to each other, so please do not worry. Normal sexual activity will not transmit hepatitis C. I hope my explanation is of some assistance. Hepatitis C patients can, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
