I went out with a girl for awhile and we got somewhat intimate, not intercourse, but lots of deep kissing and petting, etc. Later, after we broke it off, I found out she has Hep C - does anyone know if I was exposed to it if there was no blood exchange? I've tried to find out and some people say yes and others say no.

SDP - thanks! Looks like I am probably off the hook on that one....

Whilst all the info on the net says it is rarely sexually transmitable,I have two friends who have contracted it this way.As for deep kissing? prob not. Nothing lost in being tested tho

buzzie - yeah, I've been tested because I have a tattoo and over here it is pretty standard when you see your physician and have tattoos they will automatically check for hep c. I don't know if it can crop up later though....like some sort of incubation period. Last liver test they said my "numbers" were just a wee bit high and had me do a sonagram but never did find anything.
