Hep C and BB

[piggerytales]

so I'm HIV pos undetectable.

I'm only a top, so just wondering what the risk of getting Hep C is from just topping raw?

I don't do fist fucking or anything like that although I do fuck rather rough and my cock is thick.

Its tough to say. Hep C isnt considered a sexually transmitted disease, but it can be transmitted through some sexual contact. You pretty much need blood contact for Hep C transmission, so if there is that, there is a greater chance.

HIV+ people have been found to be at greater risk, but everything I have read isnt sure if it is because of riskier sexual practices, or lower immune function.

If I were you I would use plenty of lube when fucking, and start slower, as to try and not tear the bottom. Also stay away from anyone who uses drugs, especially meth, or any injection drugs. They are at high risk for Hep C.

There is no easy way to say what your chances are, but overall I would say they are relatively low.

Hep C does need blood to blood contact. The most common gay sex act where it's spread is fisting.

A rough fuck that draws a bottoms would do it too. NO dry fucking. Spit for lube is out too. Use a real lube and apply more of it throughout the fuck.

Please be aware HEP C is now TREATABLE AND CURABLE with a combination of pills. It is expensive, but cheaper in the long run than long term treatment. There are only a few doctors that have been certified in the treatment, but more are coming online.

There is indeed a breakthrough: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26987653

But some points here: not a 100% successful cure though 96% is much better than current situation, no long term assessment on possible drop of cancer rates in the long term and if does the treatment prevents further transmission or not is not proven yet.
