What are major and minor symptoms of hepatitis c?

by Symptom Advice on June 8, 2011

I had sex with a guy for like three minutes (what a joke) and I'm not sure if he came on me, or if it matters. he has hep C and i'd like to know some symptoms.
there was no protection and I understand the fail there.

hepatitis c is usually transmitted by blood not sex.BUT sometimes it might happen when your genital organ is bleeding.
the major symptoms :jaundice, hepatalgia .
the most important thing is that hepatitis c is the most harmful kind in the hepatitises . In the meanwhile , it can cause the liver cancer .
So you have to check your blood in the hospital.

Hepatitis C is not usually transmitted via sex. the exceptions occur where there is contact with blood during sex.
In male to male sex, this is most likely to happen during prolonged or rough anal sex or fisting, where tiny tears in the anus or rectum might occur. Men who are HIV positive are at increased risk of contracting hepatitis C through sexual contact with other men.
It really doesn't sound like you two did enough, for long enough, for you to be at any risk at all. him coming on your skin, or inside you, is not in itself a risk for hep C transmission.
It is very common for people to have hepatitis C for 15 or 20 years without any symptoms, so there is no point in you even thinking you can tell whether you were infected by how you feel now.
Even when people do have hep C symptoms, they are so common and potentially caused by so many other conditions, that it is impossible even for a doctor to diagnose on symptoms alone. They have to do a blood test. Symptoms include tiredness, flu like symptoms, nausea, muscle pains and indigestion. Everybody in the world has some of these, some of the time.
However, since you had unprotected sex, there may be a risk for HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. it would probably be a good idea to get tested, and while you're there, then they can do a hep C test as well.

Hep C is NOT transmitted through sex. Unless the girl is on her period and bleeds on the guy then theres a small chance. it has to be blood to blood contact. I have Hep C it has no symptoms…sometimes my liver hurts a bit but thats it. it takes 4 months from the date of infection for it to show. You have absolutly no reason to worry but if you are then wait 4 months and get a test.
