Boy that really sucks, having recently been harassed by a doctor, I completely know where you are coming from. We really don't need that kind of scrutiny by anyone. Were just people trying to live our lives the best we can. Seems like most of us got this by some weird fluke, and even those who may have been IV drug users, have put it in their past, and are clean now. Scary to think the dentist isn't safe, I just recently went, and I did not really see her take the tools out of the sealed package...kinda made me very nervous as I looked at the spider webs hang from the ceiling
Hope this guy gets educated. Blessings, Iris
me too.. good Lord the world needs help.. peace and love MJ

Hey Iris dont be that afraid of the dentist I was a dental assistant and the needle we used to deaden the patients mouth went right trhough my finger! And he was positive for hep c . I don't know why I am just now finding out about it , because when I would have blood test it would show my enzymes were up?? I just thank GOD the last Dr. decided to test me for it. Anyway I an strong in my faith and have a great support team. Not sure about how my new Dr. is going to treat me, guess I will find out at the end of next month, but I will get through this and the peeps that want to look down their nose at me can kiss my big ol butt.

Hope something like this doesn't happen to them

I am starting all over because I moved back to Texas and the county hospital has to do their own testing, I am just ready to get started on treatment and get it over with. I haven,t told any of my other family and friends because I am scared they will treat me like he is. I did rell my husband and he just schrugs it off he doen,t even want to get tested but I am going to make him.
You need all the positive support you can muster up.. Some folks you just have to educate, it takes time but most I have found really do try to understand.. One of the Guru's said it best " knowledge is power" arm yourself.. I wish you the best and hang in there peace and love MJ

This is one of the main reasons I haven't told my ex. That, and I think he would blab to everyone he knew. I don't think I will tell anyone I don't absolutely have to at this point.

Yeah this is the exact reason I am keeping this from my son and his wife. She is really ignorant about Hep C. Like Jill said don't let that loser get to you.

He sounds like it too, and you must be really thankful he is soon to be your daughter`s `ex`... it`s horrible that he has put you in this position where you feel you have to explain and justify yourself just because of his ignorance and inadequacy.
Take care and try not to let him get to you. Jill xx

Hi pootinlady, no wonder you`re angry, and you are absolutely right, none of us deserve be treated like that no matter how we caught the virus, it`s just ignorance and lack of understanding. Really sorry you`ve got all this stress to cope with.
Here are a couple of articles which explain the risk factors, hope they help..
Long story short, my daughter ans 2 year old gran daughter will be moving in with me in 2 months and her soon to be ex has been messing with her head about my hep c and passing it on to my grand daughter. While exposing anyone is always a great concern I would never think of doing that to my granddaughter! So I was wondering if anyone has a wed page I could foward to the big jerk to proved how hard it is to live with someone and get it? He has an aunt that has it from drug abuse and he says thats how I got it! So he treat me like a low down drug addict. I got it from a needle prick in the dental office. But, no matter how someone gets it we should still be treated with respect.
me too.. good Lord the world needs help.. peace and love MJ
