Good Morning Doctor
Hope you are well.
I just have one final concern which is bothering me, basucally regarding Hepatitis viruses. When me and my Girlfriend had our checks done previously, we were both given the all-clear for all STDs including HepB and C. However, a quick look on the Internet (I know I shouldn't have, but I am a bit of a worrier, more so since I found out we've got a baby on the way), and I discovered there are some other Hepatitis viruses out there, in particular, Hepatitis G (I believe also called GBV/C), Hepatitis TT, and a 'Hepatitis Virus Agent' called NV-F.
Should I be worrying about these things. From what I've seen on the net, Hepatitis G shares some similarities to Hepatitis C. From what little I understand, Hepatitis C is transmitted mainly by intravenous drug infusions, sharing needles etc., and is rarely if ever transmitted sexually. Would it be the same case for Hepatitis G ie, more likely transmitted by sharing needles, blood transfusions etc., rather than sexual transmission?
And can you please explain what Hepatitis TT is? Apparently stands for Transfussion Transmitted or Torque Tenu virus. A quick look on the net explains that it's mainly transmitted by transfusion although I'm worried it could be transmitted sexually, as I'm worried that Hepatitis G could be transmitted sexually too.
And I really don't know anything about this NV-F Hepatitis agent, if this is something I should worry about, something that can be transmitted sexually..?
It should be worth mentioning that neither me or my girlfriend have ever taken drugs or shared needles ever, although I do have a bit of a sexual history ie. 3-4 times unprotected casual sex (very stupid I know), penetrating only for a few seconds, withdrawing before really getting started, not going all the way to climax.
I just want to move on now with my girlfirend and baby, and not worry if I've passed something onto them.
Thank You.
