hepatitis b and c

[dyd73]

Hello Doctor, as you can see i did before a question about hepatitis.I know that probably i just need a rassicurance of my mind and i wanna work with psychologist expert.I'm sorry to disturb you again.anyway this is the question, i post here because hepatits b and c are also STD (even if rarely case).So years ago i used anabolic steroids but i now, from about 5 year i stopped to use them.I did check blood and my health it's ok now.2 years ago i did blood test for hep c and AIDS (I NEVER DID IN MY LIFE).Both negative.My father took hep c so i did test for my peace of mind.I'm not really sure but probably i also used fake steroids.I read on internet (i know it's a bad way to search symptoms and cures) that fake steroids can have inside impurities dangerous for health.I never had episodes of infections so i think it's ok.So, could fake steroids contain virus of any kind of hepatitis?I feel good and as i told you i did test 2 years ago.Do i need some test again?I know this question could sounds stupid but i just need a rassicurance.Thanx a lot.Best regards.

I am not sure what impurities "fake steroids" might have in them.  Typically however the problems with counterfeit medications is not that they are biologically contaminated but that, 1) they do not contain what they are said to contain and b.) they contain other chemical impurities.  Thus while there really is no way to know what was or was not in the stuff you used in the past, I really see no reason to worry about having gotten hepatitis of any sort from counterfeit medications, including steroids.  EWH
