"Sexual Transmission
Sexual transmission of hepatitis C between monogamous partners appears to be uncommon. Whether hepatitis C is spread by sexual contact is not conclusively proven and studies have been contradictory. Less than 5 percent of spouses of patients with chronic hepatitis C become infected. The risk of infection appears to correlate with the length of marriage and viral titers in the affected spouse; however, the studies reporting spouse transmission were confounded by other risk factors, such as other shared known sources of exposure, and came from areas of the world where hepatitis C is common in the general population."
So you are actually not that likely to get it, but it's not really worth risking, so I'd advise using condoms.

MYXBLOODYROMANCE you dont know what your talking about, there is no shot for hep C only hep B and hep A. anyways most STDs have a very high change of transmitting it through sex. as for from members of your household the chance is fairly low. you might want to do a google search jsut to be sure though.

Like all forms of Hep, it is very contagious. You should get a blood test done to see if you've contracted it. It can cause severe liver damage.
Talk to a doctor.
