method of aquisition

I notice many people being very specific in how they contracted Hepatitis C virus. Like, " contracted through transfusion", or,"needle stick accident-healthcare pro," or whatever. Is those individuals' disease somehow different from, "cross-contaminated tattoo ink", or "used drugs intravenously"? I thought we were all in the same boat.Perhaps a separate forum- "Their own fault", and, "victims of"?

Kimmy....not sure what's going on.
Love.....hearing when someone conquers the battle of addiction. I have never been ashamed of my experimental years and have used my stories many times to help. My son once brought a friend of his to me to tell my past, talk to about drugs as he'd started using. I was open with them and their friends as soon as they were at that age of temptations, peer pressure. My youth made me who I am today and made me get into ...things I do at times :) You have the idea....use it to help now. I'll never forget walking someone into a rehab, listening to this woman rattle off, pulling her aside and saying "WHAT? Have you ever done drugs?"..."no mam, I've never even smoked pot"...."than how the hell can you preach what your preaching?" (you had to be there, it was deserved!) Rehabs truly need some people that have been there ,done that. Sorry to go off on a roll here :)
What you did is harder than anything many will ever go up against in their life.  You get that SVR and enjoy your life. Those scars are battle wounds, you won.
