"(In some states you are legally required to tell anyone you have physical intimacy with...here in Indiana is one of them.)"

Really? What states are they? That a great topic for discussion. Never
heard that one.

Orphanedhawk is right. HEP C is not like B which can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. HEP C is a blood to blood virsus. My first hepo/gastrologist who is now in research to cure this disease said he could drink a cup of my blood and not get it unless he had open sores in his mouth or throat. Sexual intercourse would have to be awfully rough and tumbley with bleeding and open sores etc.to get have a possibility of getting it. Penis and vaginal piercings probably aren't that great...don't have one...never had the desire or need to but OUCH... so keep posting and reading and you will eventually get the answers you need. Good Luck. (In some states you are legally required to tell anyone you have physical intimacy with...here in Indiana is one of them.)
You go girl, it always been that way. The girl is the ****! The guy is just getting some. Lmao!! Hasn't changed I see!!!
Okay im being honest. i sleep with whoever i want to and i am not intrested in a commitment now. Plenty a guys before me go that way without judgement. my turn. how is mutltiple sex partners make a person at higher risk? I will never never do anything without protection. Maybe they say that cause they think if you sleep around you are irresponsible or dont use protection.
"we like to think" that we would share that information with a intimate partner? In someones universe not mine. Noone wants a sick person and that the bottom line.
mizct-im glad you understand and im sorry i am like this. Just not ready for it.

As hep C is spread via blood to blood contact, if you do not encage in sex that involves sharing blood, then it is unlikely that your partner(s) are at risk.
Many of us had it for years without knowing and our partners did not get the virus.
Having said that, I will point out that for some reason it is more likely to be spread sexually by people with multiple partners, that's what all the literature says.
I told my hairdresser but only because I'm a blabbermouth. It is important to tell your dentist and we like to think that anyone you'd be sexually intmate with, you'd feel comfortable telling you have the virus.

When I was diagnoised over 20 yrs ago there were no possible cures and I was a non-responder on 3 different trials. I just had to keep hoping.
Follow the advice you received from the above posters. When I was told the doctor who told me told me I had approximately 30 days to get my affairs in order. I immediately said find me a doctor now who is progressive because I just do not have time for this crap. I worked 80-90 hrs a week...was EMT and bartender...had 3 kids in IU and I just had stuff I wanted to do. Sure didn't want to be "sickly" all the time. I wasn't..I worked through treatment...good and bad thing about Hep C is you can have it and look normal and healthy.
You are not lucky to have gotten Hep C but you are fortunate to be in the age where there are possible cures....put the glass down and read, research and heal yourself as quickly as possible.
