(closed)

Here is my story. In 2002 my wife was rejected for life insurance due to Hep C. I immediately got tested and I tested negative. I got tested every year since.

Curious about Husband's Symptom
(Preview)
I met my husband four years ago. During this time, he will sometimes get "heartburn." It usually happens after he eats a lot of food or drinks a lot of soda.

Update on Husband's First Doctor Visit
(Preview)
Well, everything went better than expected today at my husband's first doctor visit. The doctor already had all of his blood work information, viral load, genotype, etc. So, based on my husband's blood work and the fact that he is Genotype 2, the doctor said a liver biopsy isn't at all necessary! W...

Question about Being able to start treatment quickly
(Preview)
The blood work bills for my husband's genotype and viral load were pretty high, even though we have insurance. We see his specialist on Jan. 3rd. I am hoping that since we know his viral load and genotype, we can just put my husband on treatment and not pay for anything else. The doctor already also di...
