HEPATITIS C COMMUNITY
Am I at risk??

Am I at risk??

My Daddy has been on interferon treatment for 28 weeks now.  Not long ago I found out that hep c can be contracted thru sharing "tooters" when doing cocaine with multiple people.  My concern is that I have done the above and am wondering if I should be tested for antibodies.  I am a 22 year old female, and my mother tested negative.  Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If by "tooters" you mean snorting coke, then yes, it would be a good idea to run a test to make sure you didn't contract it. It would also be a good idea to stop snorting coke.

Some people had not touched some of that stuff in 20 years and yet that seemed the ONLY way they could have gotten it.  The answer to your question is a resounding YES Get tested....  If nothing else it will relieve your mind to know one way or the other.

When it doubt, have the blood test.  Early detection is best.  I had Hep C for over 30years before it was diagnosed in 2004.
