Living with Hep C
Telling people
Why do you want this person to know?
Are there any reasons why I should tell people?
Because of the stigma surrounding Hepatitis C, it's best to have good reasons to tell someone.
Maybe you're worried you might lose your job if you have to take time off work.
Maybe you're worried someone
might have contracted Hepatitis C from you
.
Maybe you simply want to rely on a particular person for support.
