Here’s my completely personal and subjective take on this question, Hailz.
Coming as I do from an earlier generation, one that had never even heard of safe sex, I’ve spent the past 45 years regularly practising unprotected, mostly but not exclusively, penetrative sex with my (male) partner, Given birth, and breastfed children. Yet none of them became infected. None of them even have antibodies.
This despite close living, in which each person in my family somewhere along the way would have say, used my toothbrush, or my facecloth. Certainly I know body fluids got swapped one way or another. So my advice is use condoms or whatever, and maybe do nothing too crazy, but as my grandma used to say “practice makes perfect”
G2, infected maybe in 1971?
Diagnosed HVnon-A non-B 1980s, revised to HVC 1990’s.
Treatment naive. Fibroscan & bloods all normal ranges.
Viral load 7million,
began Redemption trial4, 12-week generic Sof/Vel (Incepta) 2017. Week 4 UND, Week 12UND, SVR24
Thank-yous to my doctor for the script, to Jan at FixHepC for wrangling, and to Dr Freeman for courage.
Kia kaha e hoa ma!
