SharonThe odds that your son could pass this virus on via sex is so extremely low as to be almost non-existent. I hate it when the Drs. don't tell the whole truth!! I had HepC without knowing it, for my whole marriage. My husband does not have HepC.Lots of folks are still trying to hide their infection from family, friends and/or co-workers. We are so very hopeful, that what Steve and Teri are already involved in and hopefully I will be on the Canadian side, will begin to educate everyone on what HepC is and isn't!! I have never accepted the stigmatization around it. No one and I mean absolutely no one, should be embarrassed to

have this disease!! It is definitely counter productive!!For heaven's sake, your son didn't do anything whatsoever to get this virus did he?? So, he got it just because he was born. Why should he be the least ashamed to tell anyone? We need to all band together and stop this stigmatization once and for all.Please, please - tell him from me, that he has absolutely no reason to hide anything. Absolutely nothing. Just look at how many babies have been born addicted because of their mothers. Now that is almost criminal! I have a granddaughter (adopted) that was actually born addicted, alcoholic and any other thing you can think of. She will have to live her entire life battling all the awful affects it has had on her. However, your son was passed a virus that he can get rid of or it may never get to a point of worrying about. He should hold his head high and never, ever be

ashamed of anything.Gloria

Cheryl, You are a great example for your daughter. You were to me and I never even met you personally. I saw you mention your daughter not wanting to tell anyone. Same here with my son. I don't blame him, I told him not to tell anyone, isn't that terrible I said that. That's how afraid I was. I feel really bad for telling him that. Now, I feel like I am having him hide and that is so bad. But it's their right if they want to or not. My son said to me and my husband when he found out that the doctor told him he had to go back and tell anyone he slept with about his hep c. I said no you don't and he said "Mum, I not like you and Dad, Liers, I don't do those things, unlike you too. This was his anger, but he

was so right. I will talk to him and tell him it's up to him if he feels comfortable. He has to tell one of his friends I don't see how he could hold that in. I am going to tell him that I am sorry that I said that too him too. Im up late tonite, have a lot of energy, I think I feel so much better about the blood work. Depression, it can do a number on your head, body everything, it's crazy, but I feel pretty dam good. Thanks to all of you.Okay, just changed furniture around, my tenants are probably like what the hell is this chick doing at 12:30 moving furniture around. I am getting ready for the tree tomorrow. My house is looking so good. The kids are like, mum what has gotten into you in the last couple of days! lol I'm rambling, I just feel okay for now. It will be okay too next week, I'm not afraid anymore what a weight off my shoulders I want to throw a party!

Just ginger ale or fruit punch promise!nitesharon

Amen to what you said. I tell everyone that will listen that I have it. I have one tattoo that I've had for many years and that may or may not be how I got this virus. I don't care about how I got it I am just planning to get rid of it ASAP. I am a banker and have many customers. One is a doctor who specializes in nutrition and according to him 10% of hep patients just got it for no reason. I am thankful that because I donated blood to the Red Cross this was found. I've been married for 30 years, have 3 children and no one has it except me.

Take care,

This is yet another one of those cases that we heard about in Boston...  I didn't realize it was so damn prevalent.  Doctors giving out mis-information about Hep C because they don't know any better.  LORD HELP US ALL.  It was bad enough when that quack Dr. Oz told the world on national tv that Hep C was a sexually transmitted disease and NEVER recanted his statement.. even when thousands of people wrote into his show and flooded his website with comments.  

Sharon,Your son needs to know that he didn't pass this on sexually to anyone.  He has enough to deal with right now, he doesn't need to deal with half truths that a doctor that doesn't know it all told him.  This is NOT a sexually transmitted disease.  Not at all.  Granted, it COULD happen but not with normal sexual practices.  It just doesn't happen that way...  

Now I know someone is going to want to jump on this and get on that bandwagon with Dr. Oz.  Do me a favor, don't.  It is NOT a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it as Dr. Oz called it an " STD " .  This is just not a way that the virus is spread.

HiI'm live 50 miles outside boston and my doc told me it would have been next to impossible to get it from sex especially since my husband doesn't have it. Blood transfusion, iv drug use or tatto is the common way she told me you typically get it.

Donna,It sounds like you have an intelligent doctor.  Blood transfusion, IV drug use with shared needles, tattoo's, even ear piercings.  Until the mid to late 80's dentist offices weren't sterilizing their equipment... could have come from there as well.  As kids we got immunizations with a shot gun..  guess what?  That needle wasn't changed out between people.  Could have happened there as well.  There is no telling how a lot of us got this virus and we could make ourselves absolutely crazy trying to figure it out.  But you know what?  How we got it doesn't matter.  What matters is what we do now that we know we have it.  That's a big piece of information right there...  and an important one as well.  

50 miles outside of Boston huh?  I made my very first trip to Boston last month...  Nobody told me I was flying into an airport that was in the middle of the OCEAN either!  I am going back there next month I believe.  Boston is beautiful.  I'd live there in a heartbeat.

Teri,

Boston is a nice place to visit and if you have time you should take the duck tour. They take you around Boston and then they drive into the water and you take a boat ride around the River then back to land. It is a lot of fun and very informative if you like history.

Take care and the airport is pretty freaky just don't look out the window.

Donna, heres a little case scenario for you. The

UPS Guy who has hep c delivers a package. There

is a protruding extra large staple on the side in

which he punctures a deep cut on his had that

starts bleeding profusely. The virus will stay

alive for at least 4 days(info varies on this

from days to months). If one were to puncture

themselves on that same protruding extra large

staple, they to could get the virus. From what I

understand it must be a puncture. Cuts have a

tendency to bleed outward, so if infected blood

simply touches someone one, it is highly unlikely the virus will be spread.

Pretty much that's how it happens.  And yes, it needs to be a puncture wound because blood comes out not in.  On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 11:45 AM, Marcia Weatherholt-Bernhardt <mwassoc@...> wrote:

 

Donna, heres a little case scenario for you. The

UPS Guy who has hep c delivers a package. There

is a protruding extra large staple on the side in

which he punctures a deep cut on his had that

starts bleeding profusely. The virus will stay

alive for at least 4 days(info varies on this

from days to months). If one were to puncture

themselves on that same protruding extra large

staple, they to could get the virus. From what I

understand it must be a puncture. Cuts have a

tendency to bleed outward, so if infected blood

simply touches someone one, it is highly unlikely the virus will be spread.

TeriHear, hear!!! Any of us that have been around with this for some time now, are really really tired of the misinformation from the medical field!! I know that I am. I'm so tired of trying to undo the damage that has been done to the person that is infected.Gloria

This is yet another one of those cases that we heard about in Boston... I didn't realize it was so damn prevalent. Doctors giving out mis-information about Hep C because they don't know any better. LORD HELP US ALL. It was bad enough when that quack Dr. Oz told the world on national tv that Hep C was a sexually transmitted disease and NEVER recanted his statement.. even when thousands of people wrote into his show and flooded his website with comments.

Sharon,Your son needs to know that he didn't pass this on sexually to anyone. He has enough to deal with right now, he doesn't need to deal with half truths that a doctor that doesn't know it all told him. This is NOT a sexually transmitted disease. Not at all. Granted, it COULD happen but not with normal sexual practices. It just doesn't happen that way...

Now I know someone is going to want to jump on this and get on that bandwagon with Dr. Oz. Do me a favor, don't. It is NOT a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it as Dr. Oz called it an "STD". This is just not a way that the virus is spread.

Please, please - tell him from me, that he has absolutely no reason to hide anything. Absolutely nothing. Just look at how many babies have been born addicted because of their mothers. Now that is almost criminal! I have a granddaughter (adopted) that was actually born addicted, alcoholic and any other thing you can think of. She will have to live her entire life battling all the awful affects it has had on her. However, your son was passed a virus that he can get rid of or it may never get to a point of worrying about. He should hold his head high and never, ever be

DonnaA very resounding YES!! Let's face the facts - how could it be sexually transmitted, when so many of us have been married for years and our partners still do not have it?? To me, that's all it takes to understand the stupidity of a thing like this Dr. Oz!!GloriaHiI'm live 50 miles outside boston and my doc told me it would have been next to impossible to get it from sex especially since my husband doesn't have it. Blood transfusion, iv drug use or tatto is the common way she told me you typically get it.
