Would contracting hepetius C increase risk?

Wondering if getting hepatitis C from giving oral to some unknown man pose a high risk also contracting? I wonder cause hep c is also blood born and being that transmitted this way would it make someone more likley? I also should add I'm not a drug user. Anyone have knowledge in this?

No, because oral sex is not a risk of HIV transmission to begin with.
