I have been reading the normal ways to get Hepatis C. But does anyone
know a way that sharing needles or things like that with blood would make it happen. They are considering this for Derrick's issues. And I can't figure out how he would have gotten it if it is. I do wonder if it could be all the blood draws he has done over the years. Donna

Donna, I am sorry to read about Derrick. You are right in thinking that the most common way of getting a Hep C infection is via sharing needles with blood containing Hep C, either in a medical context (which should not happen) or for people who use injectable street drugs.
This site might give you and Derrick some helpful information Treatment for Hep C — Hepatitis Australia. It is Australia-based but I guess that the highly-effective treatments available for Hep C infection here will also be available in the US.

I've seen commercials on TV recently that Baby Boomers may have Hep C, and may not know it. BF

Injection into the blood stream via needle in some way (usually by sharing needles) is the most common way to get Hep C. Has ever gotten a blood transfusion? Because that is one of the biggies too… In a small amount of cases, even now, it's not screened out well enough.
I hope that he doesn't have it, but the good news is it can be cured in many cases now

Thanks folks.
Other than the symtoms all point to it. He has not done anything that would cause it. No to transfusions also. I think its even the lesser of the evils because it can be cured. The other thing they are still looking at is something to do with liver. Donna

There are lots of curable and treatable liver conditions. I will say some good words for him, and hope that if he does have a liver condition, it's one of those
