I was diagnosed with Chronic Hep C in 2007 after my GP requested a blood test, as I was suffering with shortness of breath and severe anaemia symptoms. The results came back saying I had "chronic active hepatitis". Now, I would have thought that due to the severity and the fact it was a "Virus" that they would have had to at least inform me about it,just so as not to put others at risk?
2014 I had to renew a sick note for DWP, something that I had always done with a simple phone request. On this occasion I recieved a call saying the GP wanted to see me,so of I went. Seen a new GP,she said yes to my sick note for Raynaud's and asked if I wanted my "Positive Hep c" putting on my sick note as well. I nearly passed out when she told me about the test.
Has anyone else had similar ?
