Can Hepatitis B And C Spread Through Sexual Intercourse?

I have hep for 25 years & now being treated with Harvoni & had Hep B but had the series of 3 shots for the cure. I understood that Hep C was only transferred by blood to blood. My boyfriend was tested for hep C & b, but his results showed both heps INACTIVE. What does that mean? Does he have Hep C or Hep B? Can hep c be transferred through regular sex or just sex if blood is involved?
