Hepatitis or HIV risk
Hi all,
I have noted a lot of the information on the forum is repeated and I apologise if I am asking similar questions.
I had vaginal sex with a masseuse using a condom on 2nd October 2017. The sex was normal and when finished she tied the condom off and held it up to me and said no babies. About six weeks later I got pain in my right side and noticed alarming numbers of what look like cherry anginomas appearing all over my body. I went to the doctors and was given full round of blood test incl liver tests, hep A, B C and HIV. These came back normal/negative with evidence of hep b immunity which I received in 2011. The pain in my right side went away then returned about two months later. The doc sent me for an ultrasound. The ultrasound could not properly see my liver due to the amount of fat around it (iam not fat all over but do carry weight in my mid section). The doctor then sent me to get an ultrasound which showed heavy fat infiltration of the liver. The doc had never seen anything like this so sent me to a specialist. I again had liver tests and hepascore which all came back normal. However i still have the pain in my side, feeling weak sore muscles etc
My doctor has diagnosed me with a generalised anxiety disorder over this. This was a one off encounter which I regret very much as I have a partner and children and the thought of passing anything to them has me close to the edge!
My questions are:
1. Is there a chance of getting HCV from this encounter
2. We used a condom, however iam worries as my foreskin at time has small cuts from masturbating too hard
3.Did the tied condom confirm it did not break as there was no leakage?

Asking the same question on different forums will not provide a different answer.
Believe your doctor follow their advice.

You do not have hep c as evidenced by negative hep c test.
Hep c is a virus that attacks the liver while NAFLD is non alcoholic fatty liver disease the two are entirely unrelated except they both can attack the liver and cause liver damage.
Carrying weight around your mid section is a common cause of fatty liver disease. What you need to do is lose some weight as your liver has fat cells inside it causing irritation of the liver and causing at least some amount of liver damage. You should try to eat a healthy diet, lose some weight to get to a normal BMI and try to get some exercise as tolerated and allowed by your doctor. This can resolve your NAFLD.
1. Is there a chance of getting HCV from this encounter?
You have already been told by your doctor you test negative for the hep c virus.
2. We used a condom, however iam worries as my foreskin at time has small cuts from masturbating too hard.
You skin being protected by a condom was not exposed to blood. There was no risk and you have tested negative. You are not at risk of hep c. Hep c infected blood must enter the blood stream of an uninfected person through an open wet weeping unprotected wound.
3.Did the tied condom confirm it did not break as there was no leakage?
I have no idea I was not there.

Thanks for that. I’m praying my negative test at 53 days was correct! The pain in my liver area is horrible! Don’t know if it’s stress caused by the guilt and risk of losing my family. But right no I’m close to suicidal!
