Hi Calla

Tests should show if chronic ie had long time

I'm 61 too and had 35 years

Other tests should reveal your viral load,liver condition etc

Many have been cured with the latest meds.

Wish you all the best with your recovery.

Sex is not a proven transmission route unless you have HIV so best not to blame him, at 61 you will have run all the medical risks that infected 200 million with HCV up until 1992. Piercings, tattooes, shared tools during DIY, contact sports, forgetting plasters are all still common transmission routes in the developed world. US healthcare especially was infecting 300,000 citizens annually until 1990. See thetruthabouthepc.co.uk/pag...

Especially get liver function blood tests done and a liver ultra sound scan to see if the virus is affecting your liver at all. Avoid alcohol, fried foods and long term prescriptions that can make the virus more active. We recommend checking them with your liver team.
