Dating someone with Hep C
Hi there,
I am having difficulty communicating to my lover that my Hep C that I have had for 18yrs is not a sexually transmitted disease. I explained how it is transmitted but he is still concerned. Has anyone else had situation. I could your support in how to make him feel safe?
Thanks.

Rhogam...
Google it.
It's for RH negative factor women who are giving birth to pos babies... It stops the body from rejecting the opposite RH factor.
I don't even know how to explain it -- but it's made from Donor Blood products.
It's the ONLY transmission route I can find for me.

LMAO - Hector = you too funny.

Can you elaborate on the gamma globulin? I had that shot in the early 70's myself, how is that a transmission?
"And use protected sex.
Again - let me repeat this USE PROTECTED SEX.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prophylactics.
Condoms, umbrellas, rain coats, plastic paint coat, slick shiny, rubber love glove, latex bucket, drain cage...
I thought I'd heard it all. I guess not. Thanks for the laugh Meki! You have got a way with words!
But wait a minute, hold everything..."hep c found in saliva"??!!!!
I guess that means no oral too.
Reminds me of the movie "Booty Call". Yeah the French Existentialist film classic of the New Wave movement...
Not really. I think Jamie Foxx was in it...anyway my point is(????) Oh yeah now I remember.
In the movie Jamie, after preparing himself for his "first night" with his woman, comes bounding into a room completely wrapped from head to toe in plastic wrap!...Saying he needed "protection" in order to be with his women. Is it really coming to this?
But then again it sounds like a lot of people never heard of "safe sex". I know a lot of young people don't know where the North Pole is, but they should at least know the difference between their a$$ and their elbow. IMHO

"In my humble opinion - I am of the belief that HCV may only be transmitable through transfusion or transfusion like interaction. (ie: gamma globulin shots,"
gamma globulin ?? WTF ?! I was given one of those after a needle stick when I was working in the operating room in the military in the late 70's. gamma globulin can carry HCV ?? I thought that it was supposed to protect me from whatever I got stuck with?
Can gamma globulin really carry HCV? If so the I got a double wammy when I got that needle stick and then was given it to "protect me".

Hey all I'm going crazy, I just found out a few days ago my brother had Hep c. I know he has probably used my razor I dont know if he cut his self shaving but I always end up cutting myself. I'm going to get checked tomorrow I wont get a wink of sleep tonight because of me worrying, But I was wondering the chances of me getting it, I've heard it's rare but can happen. I always wash my razor before I use it with very hot water but im just scared :(
Memac - yanno... Just for kicks and giggles, I would find out what genotype your ex has.
If it is not the same genotype then you know you got it from something else.
Also - any dental work - any surgeries - any blood sharing incident could have caused it.
I just can't believe sex causes it.
No one I know that I have had sex with has it.
My hubby after more than a decade with me doesn't have it --- and my daughter whom I gave birth to does not have it.
I just can't see it being passed "that" easily.
Otherwise the whole world would have it the way we hop beds like bunnies these days. (LOL! --- ok --- think of it like that Clairol Commercial... I boinked 2 guys and they boinked 2 girls and they boinked 2 guys and so on and so on...)
You'd think the entire world would have HCV then.
But I believe in protected sex.
Especially if you are not monogamous.
I believe I got my version of the HCV through a shot of rhogam.
No one I have had sex with in my lifetime (yeah I know - pitiful I can actually still name them and call them up - LMAO!) has the HCV virus. So I know I didn't get it from my sexual contacts.
And yeah - I told them to all go get tested.
