Close Hepatitis C

I was diagnosed with Hepatitis B last Oct .. sexual encounter. Irony here is I've been mostly celebate all my life .... a couple encounters last year and wham! Old story I guess ... should have known better etc etc ... but inibitions dropped when our old friend alcohol intervened ... but totally knew what I was doing ... so its all me. The news however stuck me to the ground for months now .... main concern that I don't somehow infect any of my extended family inadvertently ... sharing bathrooms ... toiletries ... utencils ... I know it doesn't transmit that way ... but that's my biggest fear. Second 'concern' is how do you even think about a sexual relationship again? .. is it even possible? I'll abstain totally ... if its the only way not to pass it along to anybody else. Interested to hear advice on all of the above.
