I ran into a friend I had not seen in 25 years. HepC came up because
he had heard I had it (lots of our friends do). His ex-wife also has
it. He said he had tried IV drugs a few times back in early 80s, but
only a few times.
I told him that if he has shared IV drugs then the chance he was
infected is about 100%. Obviously this is not true, because he is not
infected. As I write this, I am reminded of the 2 in 10 that clear on
their own. Maybe that is what happened to him, but I didn't think to
ask them that. I think had he been aware of clearing it he would have
brought it up.
Shooting dope is something you have to learn from a drug addict. I
don't see how you can share works, and not have it. I think it is
more likely that he cleared, instead of being a user, and never been
infected.
