Can I Contract Hepatitis-c Infection?
My husband just told me that he has Hepatitis C. We have been together for 4 years. Not knowing that he had this I used his glucose meter and the same needle. We also have unprotected sex. Can I contract it from both of these actions. What should I do?

Hello,
Welcome toHCM,
Hepatitis C is a disease caused by hepatitis C virus. It is transmitted by parentral route like sexual contact and by sharing the same needle of the individual having Hepatitis C.
As you are at risk of these you would have contacted the disease ftom your husband. But it should be confirmed by the lab investigation.
I would suggest you to undergo serological tests to confirm the presence of infection in you, which you would have got from your husband.
Thank you.
