Abstract

Sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was studied between 104 anti‐HCV positive index cases (99 haemophilic men, five women) who have attended the Oxford Haemophilia Centre and 104 (98 female, 6 male) longstanding sexual partners. Ninety‐one percent of the index cases were HCV RNA positive by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 56% were anti‐human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.

Three (2.9%) sexual partners (each a female partner of a different HCV RNA positive haemophilic man) were anti‐HCV, and HCV RNA, positive. All had other risk factors for HCV infection. Of 59 partners who were tested for anti‐HIV four (7%) were positive and only one of these was also anti‐HCV positive. There was no association between HIV positivity in the index cases and HCV positivity in their partners.
