Swimming Pool and Hep C
I have a question, my husband has Hepc C, Genotype 3
And we want to go to a public pool but I am afraid, I was told that People with Hep C can easily catch Hep B.
DO you think it is dangerouse for a Hep C patient to catch Hep B from the swimming pool???

He needs get the HAV and B vaccine regardless if he goes swimming or not. If he does choose to go, the HAV vaccine may come in quite handy if it turns out that a Babe Ruth looking thing come floating by.
Going to the pool is safe for you as well as for other swimmers. Hepatitis C or B can not be transmitted by using the pool.
I second what Trin says.
I think you both should get the hep A and B vaccine. It is called Twinrix and consists of 3 vaccines at 0, 1 and 6 months.
