Many users believe that if they have Hep C and someone else has Hep C, then it is OK to share injecting equipment, including fits. There are many reasons why this is not OK, including:
-
the person you are sharing with could have other blood borne viruses as well, such as HIV and Hep B (there is no way to know what else someone may have);
-
you or the other person may not actually have the virus, or may have cleared it spontaneously since your last test; and
-
you may have different strains of the virus - it is possible to be infected with more than one strain of Hep C.
