What makes you think you have it? From what you described I have my doubts. With the exception of perhaps his contaminated blood getting into your system through a cut, it would probably take more then snorting coke, or even swallowing cum.
Do you think that you have any of the symtoms?
I'd be happy to talk to you, although I don't really have any of the instant messaging things that everyone uses now a days. People here seem to be pretty open minded as well. We've had to be.
All I know is that I feel achy. Then again it's the end of exams and obviously I'm stressed so much.
It just feels odd that I feel like I've worked out so hard my buttocks and thighs feel stiff. I dont work out regularly.
I dont know the symptoms. I just know lately I've been getting myself worked up and I've been getting ill with diarhea and such. But honestly...my mom and I have very bad stomachs.
Really, I don't feel any different. I just know that my anxiety can account for me being tired.
Though I think I've worked myself up in the last few weeks worrying that I'm so upset that I was in the shower and felt faint. I don't know. Maybe I just need to calm down?
I agree with after40. Everyone here is pretty open minded and supportive. But I'm also curious why you think you might have been infected. Have you been tested?
Yes, sharing coke straws is a common way for the disease to be spread. But it takes a blood to blood transfer, not just some random transfer of bodily fluids. For example, I have Hep C and my baby was still able to breastfeed. No risk of transmission even though breast milk is a bodily fluid. This would be true even if my baby had ingested my blood; the disease is not transferred that way.
My advice is to relax. Get yourself tested, and then tested again in six months. Educate yourself about the disease and how it's spread, as well as some of the other diseases that are out there. You've got a long life ahead of you. :)
I would get tested to calm yourself, but HVC isn't that easy to catch unless you are very unlucky.
My first wife and I had sex at least every day for eight years long before I knew I was infected, and she tested clean many years later. I have been infected since 1971 and have been an alcoholic the entire time, and my last biopsy was stage two (not good, but under the circumstances not as bad as I was expecting) so the disease is not always (in fact is usually not) a fast progressing one. In fact even if you are infected, I would wait for some pretty bad symptoms to appear before seeking any of the current treatments, all of which are worse than the disease itself. It would be unusual for anyone to notice symptoms right away, I think you are more worried than infected, but get tested. And find more wholesome folks to sleep with. And according to today's news, drink lots of coffee.
