Thanks for the reply. Yes, the recovery, which includes seeing how my liver recovers, is most important. I guess my wondering how I got is just part of the psychological impact.

In regard to transmission, I have been wrestling with how I contracted hep c. I found out I had it back in December and have since completed treatment with Harvoni. I did two tours in Iraq, the last being in 2006. I never had any blood test in the years after due to not being able to donate blood because of another area of the world I was deployed to. During my tours I was exposed to blood on multiple occasions because “gloving up” isn’t always an option when treating someone who is wounded. Is it possible I contracted it during one of those incidents? I’ve been thinking about this for awhile.
