Sex, & Hep C

[laurahleigh16]

Alright, I am fifteen years old. And I had intercourse with a guy that was 21. I thought he loved me, come to find out he was a junkie for awhile and still is. I have my mind and my whole body messed up, mentally. I won't even leave my house, I'm so scared of I have Hep C. And I'm soooo young, I need help. I dont know what to do, I can't sleep nor eat. Dont take this as a sob story, I just need some advice, SOMETHING!!!!

     laura,

   What is done is done.  can't change the past.  I hope this guy is your EX bf.

   get tested for Hiv/Hep B/Hep C/herpes.  PROBABLY, all will be neg.

   Then learn from this and move on.  you are too young to have sex, for sure.

   But, Please get tested and let us know the result.

Yes you are very smart you sad:You’re a 15 Y.O child, so no need to judge you. The 21 Y.O is another story. If you were mine and I found out, I would beat him half to death and then drag him to the Police Station for the inmates to finish the job I started. Thet is very smart .no more coments

[R Glass]

There is no argument here, I already told you, “ I stand corrected”. She could have been 12 and he 18.  How can I possibly argue with such wisdom?

[almaja]

21 year old is not child monster he is yung men just 6 years older then she is and.In europe this is normal girls love older boys. and if she olredy had sex and was ready for it then she is not a child.but this is not what is about she shuld tolk to her perens and get testet for HIV and other STDs,they have to be there for her

[R Glass]

Your right, I stand corrected. It's the child's fault not The Child Molester's. Thanks for clearing that up.

[almaja]

If she was yours then you shuld spend more time controling her and knowing where she is insted of trying to blame somone else you cant blame him he didnt force her to do enithing.

My husband had many tatoos in his teens.  You know the back porch kind.  Buddies would pass the same needle around.  Now he is 70 and found he has Hep C.  That is the only time we can pin point.  Anyhow after 54 years of marriage I never got Hep C.  It is blood to blood.  Doctor tells me that it is rare for a spouse to get Hep C, unless you are into bloody sex.

"At 15 I was a Girl Scout and still playing with Barbie Dolls !!   "

That's a coincidence. I was a Boyscount and we played with Barbies too!

[paen53]

At age 15, I was living on my own and made some pretty poor choices at the time - and, yes, a couple for love or "something like it". You can't go backwards and fix things but you can move forward from here.

Hep C is the least of any worries, but you should get tested for other STD's and HBV and HIV just to be on the safe side. Then you can start with a clean slate and go forward from there. You can start taking control of your life today..........

Best wishes, Pam

I am glad you were smart enough to ask your question on our forum. This is generally a good place to have get your questions answered without too much judgment about your behavior.

I am sorry to hear you were hurt and are fearful, but hopefully you will learn from your experience so that you are better able to protect yourself in the future.

Your risk is minimal and it is doubtful you have hcv.

[almaja]

Do you have perents?

[Junebug812]

Yep Anne, times have really changed. When I was 15 I too was pretty innocent and naive. I'm all for change and progress but sort of sad when kids lose their innocence so early.

[Jakied]

   hep C is not considered a STD and is transmitted through sex only very rarely.

   Since you are having sex, you should be aware of the consequences.

   Hep B is a classic Std and is easily transmitted through sex.  I mention this only

     because your 'BF' ( i hope he is an EX bf) is a junkie.

     i have a feeling you are ok but if i were you, i would get tested for Hep B, Hep C

      and Hiv.  Wait about three months after your last sexual activity to be tested.

      i have a feeling all is well but please be tested.   Since you know the other person,

      ask him to be tested as well.  If he is neg, then you are good to go.

      There is a vaccine for hep b but not for hiv or hep c.

As a society we now glorify bad decisions i.e. MTV 's show 16 and pregnant.
Next we'll have 32 and a grandma.......doin' the double....lol.

Go to a clinic and get tested.  If you want to have sex use protection and don't have sex with someone who is older than 18,until you are 18.

Jmo but if this guy is risking jail time, having sex with a freshman in HS he's pretty stupid.  Better you hang out with kids not adults.

[Anne1717]

Gosh how things have changed. At 15 I was a Girl Scout and still playing with Barbie Dolls !!    I guess I was quite the nerd girl.

[Diane12855]

There are clinics that you can go to to find out if he gave you something. Hep C isn't that commonly passed on sexually, but there are other things that are passed that way. Sitting around worrying isn't going to help anything. Remember that doctors can't tell anybody what you say... so be honest about your concerns. They will know what to look for.

One other thing... if a guy really loves you, he will know that 15 is too young for you to be able to handle the emotional side of sex, and he wouldn't want to do anything that wasn't good for you. They will all say they love you if they think they can get some if they do.

one thing more IF you use condom then you can forget about that even blood is involved condom will give you certainity.

[facebook701]

well hepatitus C cannot be transfered through sex untill or unless blood is involved.so i think you are fine no worries.
