Heres a good one...if we do get SVR....should we tell new lovers that we did have the virus but are now cured...im thinkn    there is no point...i guess i just answered my own question...again

I guess i am just not the ***** I use to be.  one nite stands just are not what they use to be.  This is the 21st century, not the 70's or 80's. I remember when motorcycles were dangerous and sex was safe.  Or am I just getting old!!!!   lol

Dating is too complicated as it is to worry about mentioning HCV. The truth is that most people still think it is a STD and you do not want to be the source of "gossip". I am the monogamous type, so if I found a match, I would continue to see how mature they are about keeping secrets, then figure the right time to mention it, all along keeping "safe". The hard part is getting others to get tested for the other STDS before deciding to get in the "raw". Seems that THIS is the true dealbreaker that is keeping me single, not me having the HCV, because I was picky before I found I had it. My ex-fiance and others in my recent life, to my knowledge, they never got it from me. I find it best left secret for now, until they decide to make more public service announcements to bring understanding about it.

Sometimes it's bringing in the trash that gets the job done.

How did you get the virus?  If you got it through IV use then you have to tell that too.  Or maybe you got it through transfusion which would be easier to explain to any new potential lover.  I feel there's always going to be a negative stigma attached to having Hep C.  It such a personal decision weather to tell or not.  

I chose not to tell just because my past is exactly that, the past.  I feel no need to go digging up bones.  But then again, that's just my attitude--some things are left better unsaid.  

Ask yourself are you really going to gain anything by telling--if so then by all means start talking!
