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

There are new very effective treatments available and if you can't get insurance coverage the maker of the new meds has a help program providing free meds to those who qualify and many have gotten free meds from them.

So either you don't have hep c in which case no worries or you take the new meds possibly for free and you get cured so no worries. so either way you have nothing to worry about

Have a good holiday

It was not a choke hold...I was buying beer and the guy wasn't at the counter. This dude who I know had hep c came up behind me and put his fingers out like a,knife and was laughing and said hey I'm,going to kill you. I then turned around and talked to him,for a bit while he himself was buying beer then I,left. Know I'm,trying to know,if he stabbed me with a needle without me feeling it what's funny is I just got hep c and b tested and was negative then I ran,into him at the gas station just my luck eh?

Hi
I suppose it could be possible to not feel it. The best way to know if you did contract hep c is wait 6 months and get tested or better still ask you doctor for their recommendation how to procede from here.

And stay away from that guy. Do not allow him to attack you any further. It is not funny, it is not a joke. If it is unwanted and makes you afraid tell him to stop. It he won't stop and stay away then file a report with the police.

Putting someone in a choke hold is not appropriate behaviour outside a wrestling ring.
