Possible hep??? Help

Around October of last year I started sleeping unprotected with this girl off and on for four months. I already have genital hsv plus we even had sex during her periods. She has a tattoo. The only symptom I got was swollen lymph nodes. About February I got a soar throat for a week or two and then joint and muscle pains. I then tested positive with a high titre for mono. HIV neg. After a couple weeks, the symptoms died and I felt better except my liver or the right upper quadrant became tender and is still tender up to now (bout 2 months). I keep getting diahorrea off and on with lighter than normal stool. I've just did a hepb/c test but its gonna take time. I just wanna know my chances.
p.s. mono can infect the liver also.

Back in '07 your were encountering an HIV scare.  Quite vocal about that.  Then in '09 you think you've had a HCV scare.  I think you obsess about all this infectious disease stuff and you really should have learned your lesson about safe sex in in 07.

Nobody can give you the answer you are looking for you really just have to wait on the test results as that is truthfully the bed you made for yourself. It is possible but not probable and that is the most truthful answer you can get. Use condoms - HCV is not really sexually transmitted but it can be but there are certainly other things out there that can be prevented. Use a condom next time.

I'm on suppressive therapy for hsv and so am not worried bout spreading it. I just needed advice on hcv/hbv symptoms. Let me take care of my safe sex practices.

Didn't anybody ever explain to you why people are supposed to condoms? I don't know anything about open herpes ulcers but couldn't you give them to HER? I'd be more worried about that rather than a whole list of maybe things that she might have had somehow when you know you already have that for sure.

Please stop obsessing about hcv/b/hiv/mono and spend some time investigating safe sex practices - who knows the life you save may be someone elses.

Abdominal pain and diarrhea can be caused by all kinds of things, both viral and bacterial. Yes, you need to be careful, but it might be a good idea to go to a regular doctor to find out what it could be, especially if it keeps on for a while.
