| Honey15637 2/7/2005 C1 | . | Well there is a possibility that he contracted after life insurance policy but also,,,,maybe not. I had 2 policies through the years and perfect blood work and never knew I had. You can't always go by the blood work and need a hep c test to see if you have. I'm really not sure about the bilirubin test and hope someone else will help you on this...Best of Luck to you and your husband.. |
| cuteus 2/8/2005 C2 | . | hcv testing is not part of many physicals, even from insurance companies, it is possible that yours did not include it. the blood pool started getting tested in the early 90's. it is not impossible to get blood borne illnesses like hcv or hiv, but it is much less common. | [Thread closed to new comments] |
