hey everyone
years ago a family member of mine was diagonsed with heptitis c. he told me that he got it through sharin a bong when he was younger. but i had heard that bongs mostly transfer hep a not hep c as this was a more blood to blood contact. And to top it all off he drinks like a fish! how can i make him see how dangerous it is for him to be drinkin? is it dangerous for him to drink? could he have got it from sharin a bong?
please help me solve this  i really am curious and worried abouthis help.

I have been inspired. How is this for my first attempt, please bear in mind I only have 5 days of the TX drugs in me. i need more time for it to eat away some more of my brain cells then I will be back with some new material :)  

Ok here is my first line.....

no need to fear telaprevir is here...........

My man, you are like a fine wine - you just get better with time don't you? Or maybe you get more intoxicating and I just think you are getting better? Either way........same results.

We are so lucky to have you.  After all these years we've been together you can still be counted on to make me laugh.

Thank you. I needed that today big time, I really did.

Keep it goin' my brother man!

everyone has a poet inside trying to get out. Problem in your situation is that nothing rhymes with teleprivir.

[Marcia2202]

You're great, man! I love it!

LOL, great poem. as you know i just started tx and i want to ask if i will become a poet after being on the drugs for awhile. maybe i will come out of this tx in worse shape then before but at least be a song writer ;-)

Great poetry! Thanks for the smile.

The only way he could have got it from a bong is if people sharing the bong had cut lips. Possible, yes but highly unlikely. Maybe he also snorted back in those days? recent studies have shown sharing snorting paraphernalla like straws, bills, etc can pass hep c more then they first thought.

Drinking with HCV is a death sentence. First cirrhosis then liver cancer. one of the worse deaths is dying from liver cancer. I would'nt wish it on my worse enemy. Try and get him help !!!!

not by smoking with a bong
not by wearing skimpy thong
not a great idea to drink
it came another way I think

the route of this infection
just might be indiscretion
problem is he now has C
booze won't make a healthy he

pull him aside for a talk
assuming he still can walk
tell him he is full of hooey
hate to lose you Uncle Louie

try to get him to a doc
the bong story is just crock
time to be a stand up guy
maybe beat this if he'll try
