Re: husband/father with hep c has open wounds

[Guest guest]

Chickadee,

I don't know if this will help you BUT, research has shown that the virus is

more prevelant than HIV.... The main thing is to keep you and your children

safe. A good doc will NOT start your husband on any treatment until he is clean

for 6 months. This virus is silent but can be deadly if he doesn't start taking

care of himself, you and your children.

I was diagnosed in 1999, and now am on a transplant list waiting because my

hep turned into cirrhosis. Sometimes it turns into cancer. You are getting some

good info from the docs on safety. Some people say that you cannot contract the

disease through sex. It is easier for a man to give it to a woman than for a

woman to give it to a man. BUT the virus is in his blood. He needs to take

precautions EXPECIALLY around his children. If he doesn't care about himself, he

should care about you and your children.

If you want to talk out of the group, feel free to e-mail me.

GOD BLESS YOU,

Tricia

My husband recently diagnosed with hep c, still waiting for the GI

visit next month, has been using drugs rather heavily, sadly to say,

and he came home from work with a scrape on his chin. It was raw,

blood to the surface, but not bleeding. He touched it, touched many

other things, wallet, money, boot laces, toilet handle, clothes,

phone, remote, etc. Finally, hours later, put a band aid on.

Day two, after work showered, band aid came off, he shaved near it,

splashed, made it raw again, took no precautions, wet hands, wiped

them on his pants and sat down.

My dr. told me I needed to clean up after him after he touched things

like the fridge handle and the other things I mentioned. Then I went

to get results from my test and the nurse told me the same thing.

They both said my kids could get it that way...

Then, to make matters more scary, the more concerned I get, the more

my husband acts out and tries to scare me more and touch everything

else on purpose, even without a cause, and gets more loaded, and his

GI nurse was on the phone making his appt. with me so I asked her,

thinking she's say nothing to worry about. Quite the opposite. She

said the virus lives outside the body, without blood from the wound,

7-10 days. She said to spray a solution of 1part bleach to 10 parts

water, let sit for 2 min. then wipe. She said it's in all of his

bodily fluids and we have to be very careful.

He didn't believe me. To make matters worse, he came home from work

today with a bleeding cut, didn't cover it, and splashed sink water

out of anger all over the bathroom floor as he was being mean washing

it off in front of us all.

Are all of these people right? What is appropriate for me to do as a

mother? I don't want to overreact, or be neglegent. Please, I need

correct information.

Thank you,

I am so sorry your husband is acting like a complete idiot.You must do what ever

you have to ...to protect your family.I've had hep c for over 30 years and I was

married with 2 girls for 22 years with the hep c.I had severe acne and would

bleed alot on my t-shirts,bed sheets,etc. No one in my family ever got it. But I

didn't know I had it.On the other hand, your husband knows he has it and to

irresponsibly and purposely put his family in harms way........WHY?. I don't

know. Remember, I bled alot everyday sometimes and I treated it as any as if it

was ok....but that dosen't mean that your family will be as fortunate. please

take care

IMHO...I fear for you and your children not only because of his

beligerence (sp?) with the HEPC virus around the house and

family...and the way he is using the threat of the virus to " get at

you " emotionally...he is still using drugs from what I can understand

from your post.

It's so easy for me to say this...but I only do because I believe you

are in a very bad relationship...and although I'm sure you love him,

you can't help someone who won't help themselves.

The fact he is basically using the virus as a " weapon " against you

and your children is a criminally negligent act. I hope nobody calls

the social services and tries to have your kids removed from you and

your husband.

Plus...he is STILL USING DRUGS. I'm not a big anti-drug

person...don't get me wrong...but it sounds to me like it's a little

more than a joint every day...sounds like some more serious drugs.

Please seek help...for him if he'll accept it (probably not) but

definitely for you and your children. Ya'll shouldn't have to live

in fear of paying for his mistakes. If he's not willing to own up to

what he has and what his responsibilities are for dealing with it

(the HepC virus), then you need to make it your responsibility to

protect yourself and your children.

I would take this more seriously than just a royal pain. Have you

considered calling the police and filing a report, and then calling

them each time your jerk of a husband comes home high with cuts,

behaving like a complete ass? He is jeopardizing everyones' lives in

your family. Even visitors, if you allow them in the door, are

unprotected. And how about the people at his job? They don's know a

thing, and are jeopordized every day with his tainted blood.I think

you have a legal obligation here, and not calling the police and

women's help groups is enabling him to use his sick powers over all

of you. To NOT report him is irresponsible, and perhaps illegal. You

are aiding and abetting a man who is truly dangerous to all. You

personally may be liable if you don't report this. Please let us know

what you do. Thanks, and please help remove a real danger from our

streets.
