Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Good lord!! My husband just got home from the Dr. to get some test results back from last week in regards to a back injury. The Dr. told him he has a fatty liver and his enzymes are elevated. He now has to go for a hep c test as well as an ultrasound. I am freaking out here. What if I gave him hep c???? I couldn't live with myself!! |He says not to worry but how can't I? Has anyone else out there been through this scenario???? Talk about being stressed out!!! Great for my tx!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Scenario? My 13 year old son tested positive. I was filled with self loathing and laid awake at night thinking of how, why, should of,
could of.
My wife and younger son on the other hand are free and clear...14 years of marriage and she has never been exposed!!
The odds are overwhelmingly AGAINST you being the source!
Aside from obvious well known precautions, we live normally and never got weird about being overly safe.
In closing, I got my son the conclusive RnA test...it came back
negative.
I wish you well. Above all...I wish you peace of mind concerning your husband.
About 50% of the North American population has some level of Fatty Liver Disease
