Hepatitis C

Posted By Patti on November 12, 1998 at 03:38:49:







My boyfriend was diagnoised with a very large gall stone 7 months ago. Before the surgery could be done his blood platlet count went down and he was found to have ulcers which are being treated now. Since then his liver enzymes have increased and he was told he had hepatitis C. He is a recovering alcholic, clean and sober for 5 years now. I do not think a blood test was done to determine if he has hepatitis C or not..but just assumed he has it due to the elevated liver enzymes. My question is this...can the gall stone and gall bladder disease increase the liver enzimes? My second question is this....if he does indeed have hepatitis C how great is the possibility of my contracting it from sexual activity?
