A member asked:
Can a dr. estimate when someone contracted hep c?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: If you were exposed to drugs in your youth especially IV type drugs or where there was exchange of bloody fluids will likely be the time around when the infection was first contracted. Unless you are newly exposed there is no test that can give you an accurate time frame.
