[|Human|] I tested positive for hep c antibodies in May.    I had a bad relapse on meth 3 weeks ago where I binged for 8 days.     Is it possible for that kind of abuse to kick a recent hep c infection into chronic hep c so soon?   I am clean since and back on track by the way.
[|AI|]  Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query. In my opinion you should take the meth kick. Though there is no link between the two, taking a meth can give more burden on liver which is the target organ for hepatitis C infections. In other meaning also hepatitis c has more potential for development into chronic hepatitis c than other groups of hepatitis. Alcohol intake with hepatitis C will surely cause it into chronic one. I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you. ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist.
