18 year old son diagnosed with Hep c...........please help us

Posted By Robert J. Balsome on June 18, 1999 at 16:16:26
My 18 year old son has been recently diagnosed with Hep C.  He does not use drugs, he's still a virgin, he hasn't had any tatoes and yet he has contacted Hep c some how.  We are at a total loss!  The only symptoms he had was feeling tired.  The doctor took blood tests and said that he has Mono and Hep C.  He has not had any transfusions ever...He has done nothing to our knowledge to contact the disease and yet the doctor says he has it.  Plus when we ask her for a second opinion the doctor tells us he's young and not to worry about it!  How can we not worry?  I have been extremely depressed over this recently!!  Also should my wife and I also get tested?  And my older son?  My wife and I are always feeling tired.......we're so confused and lost, we just don't know what to do or where to turn for help.  We trust our son, when he says he's been a good boy we believe him as prejudice as we might be....we are realists.....Please help us, I feel so lost and depressed..
