You should protect both you and your partner from diseases that may be spread through sex, including those that may later harm your liver. Hepatitis B and C, both result in liver damage. They can cause death due to liver disease if left untreated.

A viral infection of the liver called hepatitis C (HCV) is spread through blood contact. If untreated, cirrhosis and cancer, 75%- 85% of people who develop it go on to suffer from horrible liver diseases like cirrhosis and cancer. Although it is uncommon, there are some situations when HCV can be spread through sex, particularly if there are rough sexual activities involved. Follow safe sex practices to avoid developing this dreadful liver disease.
