hep c stab

Hello I have a serious issue here...I recently think I got poked by a needle or injected by one at a gas station and now I'm worried that I may have contracted hep c. First off I know from the guys gf that he has hep c and that he doesn't like me. I was wearing long sleeves even a leather jacket and he came in the gas station and went up behind me while I was at the front counter and played choked me from,behind and said tour going to die like a joke. He even put his hand near,my throat pretending to slice my neck playfully. But then I started thinking what if he stabbed me with hep c without me feeling it or knowing with a syringe

Hey,

Glad you responded. Thank you so much for your honesty. Many folks here, myself & many others I know & don't know(whew!!) have emotional or organic brain disorders that create fear, panic & paranoid thinking.

There are forums and excellent mental health care available. You deserve to be free of these dreams & fears~ so I ask you,with great care as I lost a fiancé to this, to please find help & treatment. Go to MedHelp again and find mental health help forums. And, see a doc to follow through with care, so you can also live a healthy & happy life. Please! It's more than possible!!

Continued prayers & blessings to you discharged

Thank you for your help I'm just worried...maybe I'm just being paranoid I have often thought people were out to get me like stab me in my sleep with diseases like hiv and now I'm starting to think I'm getting poked by needles. I'm not sure as to why I'm thinking this thought but now it's hep c because I know somebody with it. I do not judge him for it I just know he's not a very nice guy and when I ran into him at the store I'm afraid maybe he secretly poked me with a syringe full of hep c. I just want to know how likely is that. And I got tested because I have a lot of tats and some got infected

Hi,

I'm Rbeth and I have chronic hep C.

Seems like you've been through a lot tonight, so sorry you were (attacked, abused, joked with, unsure by two comments you made) really reaching out for help tonight.

If your concerned about contracting or dealing with hep c, you've certainly come to a good place to talk about it. We really do care, when someone needs or wants help.

You mentioned that you were just tested for hep. Is it okay if I ask you why?
Did you have reason to believe you might have this virus? You also said, if you do, you might die. Sounds like your really scared.

Please know that you can really be honest  here & not worry about people talking. We all have hep c & for many different reasons; surgeries, transfusions, IV drug use, wars, accidents and the list goes on.

The first thing to do -You should definitely see a doctor & find out your condition, if any, Then, if this is what you have, please come back and let us know, to try to help support you & point in a good direction for your health.

Again, we're all here to get better, with no shame about our hep c. I hope this is something you needed to hear. We really do care. I care. So let us know how you are & if we can help you with hep c support.
Thanks discharged!

Blessings to you
