Hi all...Hiv and Hep
Can someone tell me if antibodies to HIV and Hepatitis C both take the same time to appear on a test? I am confused about this, and new here. Someones help? I tested at 2 months after a vaginal sexual exposure for Hep A,B, and C. All were negative. Am I free of Hep??

For HCV to be sexually transmitted does blood have to get into an open sore or cut?
Yes, you can disreguard HIV at 4 months negative and yes you would need to have blood exchanged in HCV.
No disrespect to Teak, but you are making a mistake asking him these questions.
You won't get the answers you like, and most importantly, they will be incorrect.
Do yourself a favor, browse Dr.H.'s forum for the answers.

So guilt it is.
You are definitely HIV and HepC negative.
And most likely HepB as well.
What I would do if I was you:
Ask your doctor if you had a HepB vaccine.
If "yes" then forget about HepB altogether.
If "no" then make sure you get it done.
Regarding comment from Teak above: Hep C is not believed to be sexually transmitted.
If you don't believe me (you shouldn't), search the doctor's forum for answers on Hep C.
People that claim to have gotten Hep C sexually are usually covering up their illegal IV drug usage.
So no way you got Hep C, in my opinion.
And also forget about HepA and the rest of them - no chance.
Teak scares people sometimes, maybe unwillingly, but sometimes I don't know.
