I'd be more worried about getting it from a biting insect then sex.
I too was concerned but the chances are slim to none. But there is still a chance.

My personal experience, been with the same woman since discharged from the Army, over 30 years now. Have one child who is 30 years old. Both are HCV negative.

Sexual transmission of HCV among monogamous heterosexual couples: The HCV partners study.
The efficiency of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission by sexual activity remains controversial. We conducted a cross-sectional study of HCV-positive persons and their partners to estimate the risk for HCV infection among monogamous heterosexual couples.
The results of this study provide quantifiable risk information for counseling long-term monogamous heterosexual couples in which one partner has chronic HCV infection. In addition to the extremely low estimated risk for HCV infection in sexual partners, the lack of association with specific sexual practices provides unambiguous and reassuring counseling messages. (HEPATOLOGY 2012.).
