How dangerous is Hep-C?

[Hole]

My drugdealer is a 55 year old junkie who slams. I begged him to impregnate me because he had hep c. He was a bit reluctant but after getting some gear in he was more wiling,

I honestly don't know a lot about hep C, how dangerous it is? 

I had my legs over his shoulder and begged him to impregnate me even though he said it could kill me.

Jessica Buchanan had it, and she had to have a liver transplant. Now she can't drink alcohol ever.

I had Hep C,  and I had to deal with 12 weeks of a medication called Mavyret.  Before my insurance company would agree to pay for the medication, they sent me back to Quest Diagnostics and they  took both another blood sample as well as a urine sample.  When my doctor's office initially called me they didn't tell me why I had to go back to the lab, I just did it.  But when my Quest App was updated with the results, I saw they were searching for things like heroin and meth as well as a number of other drugs.  Fortunately, I was clean, only my Xanax showed up.  That medication was sold at the retail cost of $36,000 but since I was clean at a the time of testing, I had no out of pocket cost.  However, that was 2019 and every six months I go back to Quest so they can measure my viral load and T cells, and I suppose check to see I have hepatitis again.

To be honest, Hep C never crossed my mind. I told my doctor that my urine was now brown and it hurt when I went to pee.  I had such an advanced case I had to do the 12 week cycle, they also offer an 8 week treatment if you are newly exposed or have a milder case (if there is such a thing).

I consider myself so fortunate.  I doubt I would have been put on the list for a liver transplant, since I already had full blown AIDS and I had a high viral load count.  

I would probably be dead today had I not mentioned my brown urine to my doctor, or for Mavyret itself.  My first visit to the lab the technician told me how fortunate I was, how far treatment of Hep C had come, and she had worked in a doctor's office where patient's hair was literally falling out.  I can live with out the crystal, but alcohol, I don't know if I could give up a glass or wine or vodka.   Life would not be worth living if that were the case.,

You don'r want Hep C, read my post above.  Personally, I think it is worse than having AIDS, but that it just my opinion.

Drugs Definitely could get expensive. It was amazing what the retail cost of prep was.
