If I may add the risk from toenails is about the same as contracting HCV from fast food if you have cuts on your tongue or having tiny cuts on your hand and touching a gasoline nozzle that you THINK has dried blood on it.  Hate to be such a "harper" on this stuff but you know what - some people just turn into freaks about transmitting or contracting HCV.

Hopefully you planning on treating as soon as telaprevir or boceprevir become available? It seems that the anxiety you are having over the disease is as bad or worse then the treatment will likely be. I think we all look forward to your putting this in the past.

Don't worry about the toenail!
Happy New year,

  If she would have been trimming your toenails like she is supposed to this would not have happened.

Mike's a young guy, Ricky.  That ain't gonna happen with the younger set.  He's gonna be off joining her for a pedicure.

No. Hep C is a blood borne disease. The blood of the infected person would have to get into the other person's blood stream.

Trish, You’re right, I’ve got a young brother in law that goes with his wife. He even gets his eyebrows plucked.

rucafox, You’re still not thinking straight since hitting your head.
You need to have a Dr. check it out (Serious)
