Hep C caused by military air-injected immunizations

I want to know if anyone knows of persons that may have had air-injected immunizations while i the military (vietnam era)? They line up one by one and get hit with the same air-injected gun, everyone had blood running down their arm. I firmly believe that's where I first came in contact with the virus but it could be a number of other things too.

I enlisted in 1967.  At Ft Polk, I was shot 4-5, maybe 6 times with air guns.  At Present I do have hepititus, a carrier but not contagious.

Hi

This is an old thread started in 2010. If you would like to ask a question about hep c please go to the top right of the page and select the post a question link and ask away.

Are you seeking treatment with the recently approved meds? It is not that important how you got hep c the important ant thing is to be treated and cured the new meds make that possible

Good luck
