I have hepatitis C

[Anonymous]

I have the antibody. I have to get tested every 6 months. I shared needles in my past. Right now my viral load is at 0. It has been since I was first tested. I'm not sure what the chances of the viral load ever going up are. I can't get a straight answer from my doctors. I don't want my children to see me die from something I did to myself.

They do two tests. I have the antibody do they told me I have it. Did second test and said "oops sorry , you don't have it" this has happened 4 times now.
I suggest a second opinion

My uncle has had it for 15 years and was doing ok for awhile. Sadly he only has a few years left now. There is no straight answer to the disease some people do well on the treatments and some don't do well. Hopefully you get a long life free of serious side effects from it.

I've been tested every year for several years, through several clinics and doctors.
