After thinking about it for a while it seems that I have an easier time remembering discussions around things like monkey sex than potential vectors for hcv. You can see where my head is.
How could we forget... :o)
Think so. Thanks for the reminder. Same person who brough monkey sex to the forum.
Could that have been Meki?
My doc said it is very possible to get Hep C from rhogam (prior to the screening for Hep C).
Quite a while back there was a member who did a bunch of reasearch on the rhogam connection. I think she was pretty convinced that it was how she came by hcv. I forget who it was. But, she was pretty adamant based on her self-education on the matter. She may have also referenced a Europe-specific situation. Don't recall specifically, years make me fuzzy.
NO unfortunately they didn't even really discover Hepc until after that. Back in the day it was called nona - nonb but I think that was much after the years you are talking about.
I too think it was about '92 that they started screening for it. And remember even today there is always the opportunity for human error with things.
I don't think blood was screened for hep C until 1991 or 1992. In 1993 I received a letter from the blood bank saying my blood tested postive for the antibody.
