1. Is this sexually transmitted? it doesn't sound like anyone really knows.
2. If it is sexually transmitted, can I pass it to someone else, even though the virus is not present?
3. Is there any preventative medicine that I can take, or am I relegated to a "wait and see" holding pattern?
4. How often should I get tested?
5. The doctor suggested that I quit drinking, Is this really necessary, since the drinking would only make things worse if I actually had the virus?
I guess this is a start. I'm not freaking out, I just want to know where to go from here. The hep C clinic at the VA says they don't need to see me, bc the virus isn't active, but I'd hate to wait till it's active before I start doing research. Thanks for all of your help.View Thread
