My friend has hep c she has been with my man and i was tested and dont have it why is that?

Transmission of any disease is not absolute; hepatitis is contagious through bodily fluids, but doesn't have to be. Hep C is a terrible disease, thank goodness you didn't get it. Get tested again because it's not always picked up on the first test.

It's transfered through any type of bodily fluid.... So it's not a guarantee you're going to get it...BUT a Big huge chance you will





Are you still with your man? If so, you Need to decide if the relationship is worth your health and Life. If it's not going to be "forever" with this guy and he hasn't given you the ring and set the date,,,,, then I suggest moving on.


A Guy is replaceable (you'll forget him in time) your health is Not and you won't Forget those horrible side effects you'll have that are non-curable.





Get yourself tested again in 6 months or some time frame To double check you haven't Contracted it. did you talk to the doc or nurse about the time frame and results.


It doesn't always show up on the 1st test you take.


How long has it been that you have had contact with his bodily fluids before you got tested?





Has he been Tested positive to have it, Do you know if he has it for sure?

Reply:Hepatitis is the Latin word for liver inflammation. Type C hepatitis is caused by a virus called hepatitis C virus.


The causes:


Through contact with an infected person's blood.


Through sexual contact, but the risk is very small.


Transmission from mother to child is rare.


The virus can be contracted by accidental pricking with a contaminated needle - this mainly concerns healthcare workers and drug addicts sharing needles.


Symptoms:


The incubation period, from the time of exposure to the virus until the onset of the disease, is one to six months. Early symptoms include poor appetite, lack of interest in food, nausea, aching muscles and joints, and light fever.


Later symptoms include yellowing of skin, mucous membranes, and white portions of the eyes (jaundice, icterus); light-coloured stools; and dark urine. Once the late symptoms have developed, in most cases the patient quickly begins to get better.Only 1 in 10 patients with acute hepatitis has symptoms. The remaining nine have no symptoms whatsoever. In 8 out of 10 patients, the infection becomes chronic.


Patients with chronic type C hepatitis may not have any symptoms at all or experience only mild symptoms such as tiredness, periodical pressure below the right ribs caused by the enlarging liver, and aching muscles and joints.


Approximately one third of the patients develop cirrhosis over a number of years, which can lead to liver failure and other serious complications. On average, cirrhosis develops about 20 years after the virus has been contracted.

Reply:LOL..if you are even serious about this..consider yourself very lucky..





Is this a non curable disease that you want?? It kind of sounds like your upset you are clean... for reason I will never now and do not ever want to know...
Reply:Maybe it just hasn't shown up yet...my friend's brother has it and it is a really bad thing to have..do yourself a favor and find a different man before you get that or worse!
Reply:Luck could play a major part in that. If she was not in the contageous stage of the disease, "when there are open oozing sores" then it would be less likely to be passed on..there is always a risk though
