Just diagnosed with HEPATITUS C..advice needed!
I just got diagnosed with HEP C. I am only 20 and coudlnt of had it for over a year. How is this going to effect my training? Will I be experiencing any symptoms or will it be causing any problems with my training until many years down the road? I dont know what to think. I am going crazy! This isnt a joke. I feel like a disease bag waste. Is this going to interfear with my life and training? Is it that huge of a deal? I am an emotional wreck! I cant stop crying, I feel like this is going to change everything about my life. Someone knowldegable please try to answer my questions. I tried getting them out of my family doc but she was idiotic and I wont be able to see a specialist for 2 weeks. Thoughts keep racing threw my head and I dont know what to do with myself. I feel as if I just lost everthing. all the problems I have had and now this!

Sorry to hear your Hep C positive.
I am no expert but from the research I have done it seems to me that Hep's are fairly hard to contract from sexual intercourse. Even with HIV, just becuase you have sex with someone postivie doesnt mean you will contract it. That stuff is fairly hard to contract. From the information I have read most people contract Hep from Tattoo's. I read an article once where as high as 50 percent of people that get Tattoo's become infected. So if anyone is getting a tattoo anytime soon, make sure you watch him put in a clean needle. Hope everything works out bro.
