Avatar f tn I was recently told that I tested positive for active Hepatitis C. I never did any type of drug, have no tattoos and have never had a blood transfusion. I have had surgeries (on TMJ, a cystectomy, and my left ovary removed). I've also gone through fertility treatment. Does anyone have this that didn't do any of the typical markers for contracting the virus? Also, any advice or help with being pregnant with this would be greatly appreciated.

I know this can't happen in BC because all of the doctor's activities are watched by one main system as we are all on the same health insurance. If he gets angry about it, some red flags are flying.
