Thank you. There was so much information coming to me at once that I probably just had a brain oops! Now that I know the truth though it makes me feel okay about buying the kind in the stores.

I'm and I'm pretty new here too, but I've known I have HCV for about 9 years now. There are many people here that can answer specific questions for you very very well. I can only offer my opinions, as I am not an expert. From personal experience I can tell you that I had HCV when I married, and after twenty years of marriage and not even knowing I had a problem, my ex-wife and my daughter tested negative for even the antibody. This means that they not only did not have HCV, but had never been exposed to it. Without getting too graphic, I'll just say that my wife and I had an active sex life. I was very close to my daughter as well. Just don't cut yourself with something he has just cut himself with. Don't share his razor. For information overload, check the internet. HA HA HA!
