Not sure what to say here but I don't think the risk for std are low from what I can gather by reading. Good luck on whatever you decide on. I'm here fer ya!

contacting by sex is 0.1% as long as he has no cuts or open areas on his penis and you are not bloeeding. With that said I don't think we will stay around much longer he's to obsesed with it and now that he knows he is clean and you are not married without more info I think he will book, were you Hep C when you met and did he know going into this?

I meant he not we will stay around long sorry

There's no risk, unless you have multiple partners or crazy circus sex where there's a lot of ripping. I've been with my wife for 10 years, had Hep. C for 8 years & we have sex at least every 2 days and never use condoms. She is negative so do the math. I know plenty of women who have it and they have sex with their husbands while they are on their period, and their husbands are fine. Some people are squemish about this or any other disease. I used to be also. My wife is very understanding and cool with everything. I can remember not having Hep. C, going to a lady's house who had it, and not even drinking a glass of water for fear of getting it. Now that I have it, I'm definately more open minded. I have friends who have AID's and I hug then all the time. I guess I just don't have that fear anymore. Your husband has to come to his own truth. I know sometimes you feel less than or ashamed for having this disease, don't be. Nobody has the power to make me feel bad today.

I have to tell you. If this dude loves you then he will do the research with you and find his own comfort level. I just went through this. My girlfriend of over 2 years left me and I'm pretty sure it was because of this. I was 10 weeks into TX so I kind of flipped out. Wow!! was that the worst 2 weeks of my life. Fortunately I found this site right about then. Thank God!! Anyway, what I am trying to say is have him get on here and ask questions along with you. I really believe that my girl left because we didn't educate ourselves together. I was just trusting the doctor and he said we would be fine and she had a very low risk of catching it. But she was always a glass half empty kind of girl. And treated me like I was a lepper or something. We are here for you!!

I am in the same position your boyfriend is. My girlfriend has HEP C and will start treatment Nov. 28th. The chance of catching it is extremely low from sexual contact. We use condoms anyway. I have never felt scared of catching it and to be honest we have been together for a short amount of time and I would never think of leaving her for this either. Not in a million years. Tell your boyfriend if he wants to send me a message and I will be happy enough to explain some more to him.

I am in the exact same boat (minus the tubes being tied). I hope you dont mind but I took everyones advice for my own. I think Bill & Bob know what they are talking about! & I just want to say LOL about the "circus sex" haha !

thanks for sharing, now I know Im not the only one in this boat!!

Wow, thanks you guys are great! I did relay all the great new advice and research You all showed me and some i gleaned on my own. I think he was just having a bad couple weeks with the doc f**king with his psy. med dosages. And his anxiety was getting to me. He did know I had it from the very start. And that 3 ex long termbf's circus sex and all (LOL!) never got it and still test clean. 2 of them were completely crazy and said they wanted it to so they could share everything with me???? Beware the looneys people I have definately learned my lesson there. Anyhow thanks guys!-trgrl99
