How do you know you don't have Hep c? Are you basing this on the fact that you don't feel sick? Because I had it for 20+ years before I started feeling sick. By then the damage was done. Have you been checked for a viral load yet? If you have, and it came back that you didn't have one, then at some point you were exposed to it and your body fought it off. You will always have antibodies.
