cured of hep c negative pcr for many years

What would you say to a new partner since you are cured but show antibodies. You are not contagious and have not been since 2006. You havew a negative pcr showing once infected but negative now.

  1. Hi . That's a good question. On one hand, you are not obligated to say anything if there is no chance of transmission, but I'm guessing that doesn't sit well with you or you wouldn't be asking. That says a lot about you. Ultimately, it's up to you, but, if this is someone you imagine becoming seriously involved with, it might be best to get it off your chest and into the open before you become intimate. If your partner leaves you because you were once infected, you've probably dodged a bullet.
    Regardless, give your partner some time to process it and do a bit of research. You might even suggest that your partner talk to their doctor to confirmed that "cured" really does mean cured. I hope this person reacts well, but if they react negatively, I hope you realize that your new partner is the problem, not you. We're here for you if you need us. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
