Hi i was diagnosed with hep c about 15 years ago but have had it since about 1971. I once tried heroin and shared a neexle with a registered adict.

Strange to think this woukd come back to haunt me 30 years later when it was diagnosed in around 2001.

Would like to rid my system of it and awaiting nhs treatment
