Hepatitis A Community
This community is an un-mediated, patient-to-patient community for questions and support regarding Hepatitis A. Topics in this forum include but are not limited to, Causes, Diagnosis, Family and Relationships, Living With Hep A, Research Updates, Treatment, Success Stories, Support, Symptoms.
The most common symptom is fatigue.
So if you suspect you have been infected, please have a HCV test done. If you already know you have it find out as much as you can about the disease and treatment.
Good luck,
Marcia

are you worried about a possible exposure to hep C?
The usual route of transmission is blood transfusion and intravenous drug use.
hep c is not considered a STD as Hiv and Hep b are. Sexual transmission is possible
but very rare. when sexual transmission does happen, male to female is more likely
than female to male.
If you want to get tested call 'request a test.' 1-888-732-2348.
waiting for a result on something like this is nerve racking but if you are worried, testing
is the only way to move on with life.
No one on this forum will judge you. Everyone will try to help so if you want to
get something off your chest, feel free.
