Then it was rotten I called for results and was givin the all clear, phew...Nope, they read me the wrong page. I found out when I was there 2 months later with my son for an earinfection. It was very infuriating. I have never had treatment, but was just given the option by the dr.I am geno type 1-a, so I am scared ,about the failure rate.I just want to be free and have more babies if I want.
