While on the topic of "should i tell"....a lot of people have gone tru numerous tx`s and kept it all to themselves even tho friends and people were wondering  why, you missed work,looked like something the cat dragged in,lost your hair...SO...dont you get the urge to finally let the cat outta the bag if you SVR...just to let them all know  what you went tru, hell and  back...OR... just keep quiet?

That's easy. They need to kiss your liver. :)

Actually Jim, healed broken bones have been a topic off discussion on numerous occasions.
Many have tried to 'kiss and make it better', my many scars from broken bones/stitches/ staples, etc. (used to race motocross/jetskiis, have a big trophy cabinet along with the scars to prove it)

Trying to figure out if I get to SVR, how to get my cured hcv kissed to make it better... ?

Probably not a great analogy, above, but the idea was that while you might want to discuss it at some point, it really has no relevancy to the sexual act. a better analogy might be is there any reason to tell a potential sex partner that you had let's say gonorrhea 10 years ago and then got cured? still not a great analogy is gonorrhea is an STD and HCV is not, but then again most analogies do fall short.

Do you tell a new lover  that you had a broken arm several years ago but now it's healed? I suppose you could if you wanted to, but it's certainly not something she needs to know.
