Remember Mike for all those in the forum I know of no one who has passed it to a spouse.  Do what T77 said. Chillax bro she's o.k..

I should say...the ONLY reason I suggest she go every six months is because I think you'll continue to worry about all the different things that you think MIGHT be a transmission risk so it's more for your peace of mind that I suggest that than anything else.  I hope you clear the virus and never have to think about this again.  Good luck, Mike.

Mike, if you're thinking about your wife........just have her go every six months for an antibody test until you're all clear of HCV after your treatment.  Try not to worry so much about it.  I'm guessing that's your concern here.  Good luck with your treatment.
