not sure?

Hi, 2 months ago i had unprotected sex with a male who has had intercourse with numerous girls before me. Offcourse even if he was infected with a virus he would have not told me. Ever since then my immune system has been really messed up. I keep getting small infections in my nails, ears, piercings, inside my lip. I never used to have infections before. Now right under my rib cage it is started to hurt. Can anyone give me an idea as to if these are any symptoms of Hepatitis. If so, is it a severe kind? I have never even heard of this virus, i am only 19...if its serious, could i potentially die from this...I am so scared! :(

Thanks for the advice. Yes i am going to get tested tommorow. Well i am sure i did not have any blood transmition. But i also know something is really wrong with my immune system and it all happened after that one time. Is Hepatitis A & B the only viruses that can be transmitted through sexual intercourse or are there more that can eventually get better? I know there is HIV but i tested for that and they also told me i wouldnt get infections that quick. I had a complete blood count and my white blood cells were in normal range. But i guess thats a completely different blood test right?

HepC is not a sexually transmitted disease, if you are really concerned about it go get tested.  That way you won't have to worry about it anymore and you can get on with your life.  That way you will find out if you do have anything, however the chances of you getting HepC from sex is very small percentage wise.  Google it and ease your mind.   HepC is a blood to blood transmitted virus.   God Bless
