[Rockerforlife]

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

Granite, If you are so grateful about having HCV then why wouldn't you share it?

On opening night, if there's time for talk at all, wouldn't there be more profound concerns than a closed chapter in your health history? For starters, I'd rather know if lover boy loves chocolate and evaluate accordingly.  

Rocker started the thread about new encounters, not ongoing ones. I'm just not sure how you fit in so much conversation when h-orny s-ex is a dream within reach. Nah, let's kill that scenario and talk about when I broke my ankle in high school. That's the way to o-rgasm, I say.

If you feel you are really CURED, then why would you not discuss your history with an intimate partner, or prospective love interest?  If you had been treated for Cancer and recovered, wouldn't you expect to at least mention this at some point to a partner.  Is there a reason to hide the past SVR and HCV history?  I get the feeling there is more to this issue than meets the eye...like fear of someone interpreting the SVR to be more threatening than we might prefer them to....or causing someone to look at you differently.

I would want them to know me, in all aspects...IF they were becoming a true love interest, and potential long term partner.  I mean...honesty is supposed to be the foundation of a relationship..is it not?  Or do I sense a feeling of being still 'radioactive' in some way...or being looked at as 'maybe cured'???  Isn't it the right of a potential partner to make decisions based on real facts, including all of your current knowledge and insights on HCV cure and outcomes, etc. of course, but also on their own comfort level with your past history?  
I would tend to be more open than less, just to not be looked at later as someone who tried to hide something important...for whatever reasons... It could come back to haunt you well into the relationship...and cast you in a less than admirable light.

What's the point in telling anyone?

Yes, but I never take off my red high heels on principle.
