Title: Worried about infection
Post by: Craig1664 on October 14, 2014, 04:15:36 pm

I had unprotected sex with a prostitute 3 months ago - I'm male, I was tested for hep b/hiv/syphalis at week 9 and tested negative. I'v since started feeling pain in right side of abdomen and am getting a lot of trapped wind, what are the chances of hep c infection

Assuming the prostitute was female, and you weren't having sex with knives and chainsaws, pretty much zero chance. Lots of other non-prostitute-related explanations for your symptoms, such as constipation and appendicitis. See a doctor.

I've never thought that because we haven't had something that lasted this long before to be a good reason to dismiss what is happening now. Our bodies aren't machines - we age, we live with stress, we are human, things change.
