Blood to blood transmission is the most common way. My son and dau-in-law both have HepC. Classes we used to go to when they were first diagnosed 7 yrs ago warned non-infected men to not have unprotected sex if an infected woman was on her period.

Yes.

Definitely yes. And it is not a nice disease to fool around with, so please be careful and have protected sex.

answer one above is wrong since hep c is a blood borne disease like HIV

yes is the correct answer.

Among monogamous couples hep C can very rarely be transmitted between two partners but you have to remember this might also be due to sharing needles and not just from sexual contact.

In a person with hep C having sex with many partners then chances of giving the disease to others is much higher than in a monogamous relationship.

HCV is transmitted via blood. Open cuts. You would be suprised how many places blood can be exchanged. Transfusions, shared needles, etc.
