I can only draw from my personal experience but, my philosophy was to keep my mouth shut about HCV. It's no ones business but mine, I felt. The only person I have ever told I had HVC was my girlfiend, now wife of 6 years. I gave myself shots Friday nights and by Monday I was well enough to go to work and perform fairly normal.
You have to do what's best for YOU but for me it was keep my mouth shut. I worked at a very dog eat dog business and I wasn't about to give fodder for some j'moke to look down their pompous nose at me. No need to eplain anything if you keep your mouth shut.
Feel the need to talk with someone? That's what this forum is for. Wanna feel completely normal when treatment is done? Keep it to yourself or only others that share your predicament and require no explanations. Then you will truly leave it in the past when you complete treatment.
Hope this helps - for me, it was the wisest move I ever made.
