hi everybody..i complete my treatment 2014 summer and i was clean after 6 months....(g3) in march 2015 i used a needle with hcv positive person who have g2 strain..(that was a stupid mistake) then i göne to my doctor after 2 months my liver enzymes normal and pcr was negative...question is : if that was reinfection pcr shows positive again after 2 months ? or the virüs is still dormant? or there is no re-infection....what do u think about that?
Wishing you the best pnd! I will keep my mouth shut on this one. Have a great day!!!!!!!
I think we have said how we feel pretty much well. However, if we were a little ascerbic, it is because this is such a big deal - for each of us, and for all of us collectively!
My soapbox has called to me everyday since you posted, and, today, I am giving in and trying to reach you again:
HERE GOES! First and foremost, you had Gt3 - the hardest of the genotypes to cure! To have reached SVR was a blessing above gold!
Next, these treatments are VERY expensive. You might well have thrown away a LOT of money, if you have to treat again! If you didn't have to pay anything, well someone did, whether it was an insurance company, foundations, etc.
Then, there is the issue of what this is doing/could do to your life!
It sounds like I am trying to make you feel worse than you already do, but that is NOT what I am doing. I am trying to get your full attention here.
Please pay close attention to these three words:
RESPECT. RESPONSIBILITY. RESOURCEFULNESS
First, you MUST have respect for yourself, you body, your life. This is a wonderful gift, it deserves your respect, no matter what anyone may tell you or have told you, no matter how disappointed you are in yourself - YOU ARE WORTHY OF THAT RESPECT - I know it is cliche, but it is true, 'God don't make no Junk.
Further, you have been given that blessed gift of SVR, a chance for your health to start over and just grow better. This is something else to respect, the gift and yourself to use it well.
That then give you the inner strength to respect others, but not to give in to those who offer you 'easy' 'familiar' or comfortable paths. The strength to say to yourself and your friends: 'No thanks! That used to be great for me, but I have to take care of this liver of mine - you know how it is'. And, to not judge them but to offer any information to let them get to the road you have taken - out of drugs, etc.
Which leads me to Responsibility: All actions have reactions, all behaviors have consequences! You did a really foolish thing when you shared that needle and I don't expect we need to stress that to you. But that use could have/can lead you back to HEPC - a disease which CAN, if not erradicated and kept that way, leadto very dire health problems at the least. It can also lead you to HIV - you really don't need that either!
Finally Resourcefulness: Please put you sensible thinking cap on and think!!
Figure out how to get treated so that you won't use drugs. I am not saying it is easy! Only that it can be done. There are programs around, but no program is going to work until you put yourself into the solution and determine to succeed and keep at it until you do! While you are figuring out how to do those things also figure out how to get working or in training or school, if you do not already have something to qualify in.
Whether it is head of a profitable company or a janitor in some small company, if you do that job to the best you can, and keep working to learn how to do it better, smarter, faster but well, then you can look yourself in the eye and KNOW that you are a professional (a client once told me that and he knew from experience), you can respect yourself because you have taken responsibility for you self, your life and made it the best you that you can be. That my ftiend is resourcefulness!
If we didn't care about you and what you are doing, we would not be 'fussin' (southern for what we have been saying here) at you. We can rant and rave, and yes, speechify from my soapbox, but you? You can change your world, one tiny step at a time maybe, but change your world.
If the Moderators remove this from the thread, so be it, but I felt that it was something I had to say. Because I respect myself (And came so far to be able to do it), I can respect you. Because I am responsible for my actions, I have learned how to encourage others to remembe they are responsible for theirs. Only YOU can chage you. And since I don't have control of the world and of life, I have learned to be resourceful in finding suggestions to help others look and how they can be resourceful enough, to care about themselve enough to try to change their little part of the world - them!
I will get doen off my soapbox now, and hope that
1. I didn't make things worse. And
2. May have helped you try harder to help yourself.
Blessings,
Pat

"i göne to my doctor after 2 months my liver enzymes normal and pcr was negative...question is : if that was reinfection pcr shows positive again after 2 months ? or the virüs is still dormant? or there is no re-infection.."
With a negative PCR at 2 months you are in the clear, you are not reinfected.
"what do u think about that?"
You really don't want to know.

Are you for real ???
Who would possibly go through this treatment and then shoot -up ???
Of course if you are for real, then sure you could be infected or you might not. Get tested and don't stick needles in you~ ever again.
