A huge study was done in Russia of people married to people who were positive for Hep C. As long as they didn't share razors and toothe brushes, they didn't infect their partners.
btw. Fecal oral root is if you get another person's feces into your mouth. Very gross, but that's why you should wash your hands when you go to the bathroom

And it's important in this case to note that all forms of hepatitis can be spread through blood-to-blood contact. And hepatitis B is very dangerous...about a million deaths per year worldwide from chronic hep B. I really hope this isn't true.
