3. Safe sex is the better option
If you are not certain of your partner’s health (regarding his/her risk of Hep C), then leverage protection when engaging in sexual activities with such a partner.
While the chances of monogamously committed couples infecting themselves are slim, caution doesn’t hurt, especially if you are with a new partner yet medically tested.
Likewise, engaging in sexual intimate activities with multiple partners also requires you to use protection.
Aside from these, other risk-fraught sexual practices to abstain from include sharing sex toys, unprotected anal sex, and unprotected fisting.
4. You would have to say goodbye to alcohol
Incidences are abundant of chronic Hep C resulting in fibrosis (scarred liver). Unfortunately, it is not always that the liver fully heals from fibrosis by the time your Hep C treatment ends.
Therefore, with your liver yet to fully recuperate, significant alcohol intake could reverse your gains, leading to further deterioration of the liver when the scarring worsens.
Therefore, it is recommended to abstain from alcohol even long after your Hep C treatment.
The same religious abstinence should be extended to administering herbs and OTC medications. Always ensure you get the approval of a medical practitioner before even taking any pill.
