In Brief Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) has recently emerged as sexual transmitted infection among (human immunodeficiency virus) HIV-positive but not HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM). We present 4 case reports showing that HIV-infection is not an absolute prerequisite for sexual HCV transmission in MSM. HIV-negative MSM with ulcerative sexual transmitted infection, those who engage in rough sexual practices or report a HCV-positive sexual partner, should be regularly screened for HCV. Human immunodeficiency virus-infection is not an absolute prerequisite for sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in men who have sex with men. Human immunodeficiency virus-negative men who have sex with men with ulcerative sexual transmitted infection, those who engage in rough sexual practices or report a HCV-positive sexual partner, should be screened for HCV.
