Hello. I got infected in 2003. Tell me where to turn so as to remain anonymous at the same time? How likely is it that I can have healthy children without infecting them, and his wife? What is the real term of life, as death comes? Agonizing, sudden, or prolonged and painful? Please answer honestly and to all my questions.

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal infect his wife sexually, it is unlikely domestic - is excluded. Unborn child can infect only the infected mother and then with a probability of less than 5%. Chronic hepatitis C progresses by no means always - no more than every third (subject to a complete renunciation of alcohol). According to others progression is observed only in 3-5% of patients. And if the progression develops, then, as a rule, cirrhosis of the liver is formed after an average of 20-25 years. Where do you draw in your city (St. Petersburg?) Treated anonymously - I do not know. If possible, can come to our clinic. Similar question: what is the maximum term of life in hepatitis "c". on how painful this disease.
