dating
I've gone out on a few dates and mention I had hep c. I cleared 12 wks into treatment and i've been off treatment for 1 yr a/o may. The misconception out there is that hep c is not curable. I've decided not to mention that I had hep c because both times they never called back. I figured I cleared virus and have been tested 6 mo post treatment. Is that an ethical decision?
Best Answer
Absolutely. You do not have hepatitis C any more. If it were me, I wouldn't tell a date unless I thought it was getting serious. Of course if I had not cleared I would certainly tell before I started an intimate relationship. I don't think you owe a casual date that much medical history if the relationship isn't definitely going somewhere.
To this day no one at work knows I have hepc, treated and relapsed. It was none of their business and I didn't want people feeling sorry for me or asking questions. None of their business.
If I were in the dating world I wouldn't tell until there was a reason to.
