HEPATITIS AND BLEEDING

[MicheleM.]

IF I BLEED WILL HEP C BE AIRBORNE?

[imkindly]

Hepatitis C isn't carried in the air.

Here's an example to show you what I mean:

Let's say that you have Hepatitis C, and you cut yourself. You're bleeding.....and someone walks up to help you.
They clean you up and give you a band-aid.  (They are safe.)

Here's another example:

Let's say that you have Hepatitis C, and you cut yourself. You're bleeding.....and someone walks up to help you.
The person that wants to help you, happens to have a cut on their hand (or broken skin.)
While they are cleaning up your blood, they happen to get some of your blood in their cut (broken skin).
Your blood came into contact with theirs. (They aren't safe.)


The AIR around your bleeding, isn't dangerous.

Howdy, I've been informed that I have hepatitis c, no big surprise as my wife has hepatitis c and cirrhosis..  Do you know of any special diets that slow the progression??  I checked the sites you suggested on cirrhosis and what I could expect at the 3 days of testing at the medical center, quite helpful..
