Re: Diagnosed with Hepatitis C

Blood from a scratch in a salad most probably won't infect others.

On the Australia Government HCV site they say differently. Most references and my doctor does too. Sharing needles is the big no no, but sex is OK. The discrimination that HCV carriers get can be a fierce social problem and is completely based on ignorance. The chance of a heterosexual couple having regular sexual relations transmitting the virus is zero point one percent per year,so a 1 in 100 chance with 10 years of regular sex. This does not reach a level of statistical significance.

Hep C can be transmitted through unprotected sex,sexual transmission of Hep C is rare. It is most commonly transmitted through blood, sharing needles for drug use, razors, toothbrushes, tattoo needles/ink.It depends on what type of unprotected sex. Hepatitis C is mainly a blood borne pathogen, so there has to be blood present when you are having sex. Anal sex, sex during menstruation, fisting, rough sex, piercing or cutting during sex can all produce blood making it more likely to pass the virus

I believe It's been years since you took the last dose of Ribaviron for the HepC treatment.Have you got your "none detected" viral count and recovered from it??

My treatment last half a year and im healthy now.

I little knowledge can be dangerous. Here is an example of that.

People should refrain from posting about HCV unless they get their facts right. We already have enough problems with miss-information and myth.

Hep C can still be alive in blood exposed to the air, the hep c virus can liv in dried blood for up to 4 days even 1 drop of blood can have viable HEP-C virus for upto 2 days. As for sex yes the chance is low but there is ALWAYS yes ALWAYS micro tears when having sex for both men and woman. Having sex with one partner who is HEP-C neg means that yes your chances of getting HEP-C is almost none,WHO CAN SAY WHO IS OR ISN'T MONOGOMAS,Yes NEEDLES are a big worry but so is sex and grooming items.

I'm not sure of the context of your video here but it is a fact that hepatitis c can be exposed to air and still be infectious;i.e., using a razor blade. Why do you think people with hepatitis c are excluded from contact sports such as boxing and MMA? Hepatitis C can also be contracted through sex, particularly rough, abrasive sex, sex during the menstrual cycle and anal sex. It is important that these minor details be understood so as not to give people the wrong idea.
