Maybe it's not my place but, how did
eveybody get HCV?
Am I the only one who got it the
wrong way?(recreational drug use)
Just curious.

I know, my risky behavior would indicate that I contracted the virus 30 - 40 yrs ago, blood was tested 5 yrs ago for a life insurance policy, no red flags, 4 yrs later, ALT 45, hep c antibodies and yup active virus (buggers) stage 1 grade 1 so yo no se.

Last night I had a vision of these tiny red dots, and this bright yellow light swallowing them up...... would be nice.... just trying to keep them at bay until better treatment.  Anything is possible right?

I also disagree with you...I got it from surgery 13 yrs. ago.Pretty sure anyway's.My Surgeon couldn't leave the State fast enough after he was fired.How do you get fired as a Dr? Proof you are spreading it.I never shot up, tattoos, anything.How do we know we didn't get it at the dentist ? Someone didn't clean the tools in the autoclave thingy.I can see that, also.

...I disagree...I'm sure some her have gotten it that way but maybe a smaller percentage...I still don't know how I got it...I have no history of blood transfusion, IVDU, Tatoos...I have had my ears pierced several times tho...and I did experement with cocain when I was a teenager...but I never put the straw inside my nose...so maybe I'm in denial about that

IVDU

i think at least 90% of us got it that way...

It could also have been the gama globulin shot I received in 71, boy that was quite a year.  ARGHHH...
