I have just been told I’m hep c + I’m waiting for my bloods to come back I’m just feeling devastated I’m a single dad and I haven’t used drugs for 4 years I just keep thinking the worst

It is a scary thing to hear this..i was told this 2 yrs ago but i can tell you that it's curable!i was in treatment for 8 weeks using mavyret.Thankfully my doctor told me a month ago that i'm cured.The first step is finding a place in your town that helps people..a community clinic

I’ve just had my results back and all are negative I’m so confused anybody else experienced this or has somebody made a mistake

a significant minority of Hep C infections resolve themselves, and there are a few false positives. Relax, and get tested again. if you are positive, the treatments options available today virtually guarentee a simple (if expensive) treatment and cure. It usually takes years to cause any damage, and decades to cause serious illness, altho it occasionally can make you feel ill right away. You have time to find help paying for your treatment if you need it.

I can totally understand how you are feeling . You must know that this is absolutley cureable through many different types of medication. It will depend on your gen type as to what is prescribed.Treatment for Hep c has come along in leaps and bounds over the past few years , you have nothing to fear 😊

Keep positive , treatment is not that bad at all.Best of luck 👍
