How I Got Mine

I'm curious to know how some people contracted Hep C. I had multiple hip replacements prior to 1992. Before 1992, there was no definitive test for Hep C in the blood donor pool.

I had several blood transfusions prior to 1992. I never did drugs or contacted anyone who was bleeding (no rough sex). So, the doctor deduced that the blood transfusion was the cause for my Hep C. How about you?

There are many people who have infected partners and are not infected theirselves.  From the data i have seen, sex is not high on the list of ways to get Hep C.  

Your assumption is based on data you saw somewhere or just your own opinion?  Being afraid/paranoid it might happen and it actually happening are two different things....

BTW, in case you are taking a  pole...my gums don't bleed when i brush..glad to be in the 10% of that group and my partner has HCV but i didn't get it from him, we have 2 different types...

Lots of people are not n a high risk catagory for contracting HCV, but that does not draw a straight line to sex as the cause just because they  didn't get tatoos or shoot up drugs or didn't have a transfusion prior to 1992 or what ever...

Blood to blood contact...

"that is blood to blood!!!!"

Blood to blood means blood stream to blood stream as in veins.  If two people make out and they both have bleeding gums, and one has HepC they will not swap enogugh blood to infect the other.  It's more complex than that.  It would not be anything like blood to blood contact because it would all be broken down through your liver and intestines.

nygirl i have read many of ur posts and seriously u do not think before u answer. "

At least mikerja I have the capacity to think and to recall correct data.

I did address your incorrectness about saliva AND sex and you are wrong on both counts unfortunately, At least according to every single heptologist and scientist in the entire world.  Perhaps you believe mosquitos can transmit hepc as well?

Be GRATEFUL if it were this easy to transmit this disease everyone in America would have it by now and so would all of their children.  It is GOOD news.

i am suree. that many ppl here who think they got it from blood transfusion or dont know how, SEX is the asnwer......I kno many ppl who only risk activity they did was sex........i think that 3% is hugely wrong which i believe in time they will realise!

ps. read my post i said bleeding gum to another infected bleeding gum person making out. can transfer coz there is blood to blood there

nygirl i have read many of ur posts and seriously u do not think before u answer. I said bleeding gum to another bleeding gum! like i have bleeding gums i kno.......so what if the other person u make out with has bleeding gums while u r making out......that is blood to blood!!!!
