"I would like to know if oral sex (receiving and giving) can spread hep C. There is so much conflicting information about that on the internet, I am confused. I also want to know if 12 weeks is a good time to test for anti-HCV and have a conclusive result. In the last couple of days I have developed some flue like symptoms. Can acute hep C symptoms last only 3-4 days?"
NeverInTheRightOrder's "Hep C questions, new to this"

"Recently found out I have hep c gen 2. I was an IV drug user for 14 years been clean almost three now. My mom also has hep c gen 2. Same story as mine but for a lot longer, she has been clean a lot longer too, and she is in her late 60s. We are both getting ready to start treatment, interferon free. She's really scared. I told her treatment is a lot better then what she is facing if she gets cirrhosis. ..I also told her if she wants to wait till I do it first so I can let her know what she is in for, but from reading on here I know that it affects every one differently. Has any one started the 12 week treatment? any advice?"
