Donna is totally misinformed. The ONLY way to get Hep C is through blood-to-blood contact - not through the air. It does not "Mimic" other diseases, and a simple blood test can show exposure and/or carrier status. I have had Hep C for 27 years, have two children neither of whom have it or carry it. Both were born in the traditional way - through the birth canal and out the door. I had a transplant in October of 2002, but my genotype of HepC is the most belligerent and difficult to subdue, so I am going down that bumpy road again. At least I have full knowledge of what is going on inside me and my head, even if I can't control either of them sometimes.

yes they are reliable. I believe that Hep C can be ingested in the air. The pain that you are having is associated with IBS and I feel for you because I have the same problem. As for the rash I would think it is a heat rash. If you are concerned go see the Doctor and have a liver function test. It is a simple blood test that you can get the results back in 24 hours.
Hepatits C is transferred thru blood. It is rarely "caught" any other way. A rash is not a symptom of Hepatitis C.
Why were you tested for Hep C? You are being a little overly worried about this whole thing. Hepatitis C is so suttle, most people don't realize they have it for years.
