Ever had a woman tell you she has hepititis after dateing for 8 months??

[Mr.Positive]

All tests were negitive Yes it is indeed a sad thing that a person must know what all the different letters associated with this disease mean as well.The doctor didnt mention any shots but i will certainly look into getting some as i certainly dont want to go through this again!! Sure is a set back towards restoring my faith and trust in women and could have been prevented with continued use of a condom Thanks again for all the replies and support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent, great to hear that you are in good health.

Don't make this mistake again. I know this woman's behavior wasn't your fault, however take ownership of who you choose to be with.

Not be negative, but there's a time called "window period" during which the virus is invisible to the tests because your body has yet to produce the antibodies. For hep it should be 6 to 9 months. When was the last time you had sex with that woman?

Dear God of anxiety,
You seem well informed and also well named...Should he take the Shots???

 

[godofanxiety]

There are only shots for hep B available as far as I know. The doctor whom I spoke to said it was a smart thing to do. Though the shots won't cure the existing infection, if present. The OP should consult with the doctor to see if now is the good time for them or he should wait for the aforementioned window period to pass and to the tests again, just to be totally sure that he's clear.

well named...

You've no idea .

Last time we had sex was 2-20?? I will wait 6 months and take another test and will ask about the shots as well? Thanx again fellas!

 

[godofanxiety]

Cool, consult with your doc about the exact time you have to wait, it depends on the type of tests they're using. Good luck!

I had something similar. My ex-wife told me 6 months into our marriage (and after a 1-1/2 year engagement) that her parents are broke, and we need to start sending them money.

Different disease, same female tactic.

Dear Falcon,
Thankyou a very valuable contribution.

I would seek monetary damages and sue her ass if she is wealthy, especially if she knew and kept it from you. I would get treatment right away. Hep is nothing to keep away from the doctor. It eats at you slowly. Look for symptoms of jaundice and severe weakness. It is a nasty disease. I don't think I could control myself in beating her ass, you are a patient man.

Man, that is f*cked up. That is NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION.

Here is the lowdown:

Hep A is transmitted via ingestion of fecal matter, even in microscopic amounts.
Hep B is transmitted via contact with infectious blood, semen, and other body fluids from having sex with an infected person, sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs, or from an infected mother to her newborn.
Hep C is transmitted via contact with the blood of an infected person, primarily through sharing contaminated needles to inject drugs.
Hep D is transmitted via contact with infectious blood, similar to how HBV is spread.
Hep E is transmitted via ingestion of fecal matter, like Hep A.

I suspect it's probably C, which is why she hasn't told you. Treatment is not always necessary with Hep C, but keep in mind this is a virus, not a bacterium.

I think you should file suit for intentional omission of her communicable disease status. That is a serious crime.

This. There are some really high profile cases of people suing for damages when their partners hid an STD from them. As a matter of fact he should also file a police report if he has one now--she may even get charged with a crime if it's determined she crossed the line regarding intent. The all clear on his test can just be the quiet before the storm. It can take a while for these things to pop positive and he's not out of the woods yet. This is why they say you should stop having sex for 6 months and then get tested. It's the nuke it from orbit way to do STD testing--it's the only way to be sure.
