It’s a reality, trucker friends. Although the possibility of transmitting hepatitis C through unprotected oral sex is low, especially in monogamous relationships, it remains a possibility for this liver disease to be transmitted orally. It could also happen through other unprotected sexual activities like vaginal or anal sex. The hepatitis C virus is present in the blood, but it is also in certain body fluids, like semen, which is generally the main transmitter in sexual intercourse.
Truck drivers should be careful and take precautions in their sexual relations, especially when there is blood involved. Hepatitis C can be transmitted from one individual to another through contact with infected blood. If you happen to have oral sex with a person who has hepatitis C and that sexual partner has some type of crack or bleeding in the gums or lips then the truck driver has a higher risk of receiving the disease, especially when it meets their own blood.
