I just looked up Hep C
Didn't really know a lot about it. I thought it was an incurable liver disease that you get from having sex.
Nope. Not incurable. And not even 100% belief among the medical community that it is spread via sex.
Here's what I read on wiki about spreading it:
"Sexual intercourse
Whether hepatitis C can be transmitted through sexual activity is controversial.
While there is an association between high-risk sexual activity and hepatitis C, it is not known whether transmission of the disease is due to drug use that has not been admitted to or sex as a risk factor.
The majority of evidence supports there being no risk for monogamous heterosexual couples.
Sexual practices that involve higher levels of trauma to the anogenital mucosa, such as anal penetrative sex, or that occur when there is a concurrent sexually transmitted infection, including HIV or genital ulceration, do present a risk.
The United States government only recommends condom use to prevent hepatitis C transmission in those with multiple partners."
And here's the facts about it being curable:
"The virus persists in the liver in about 85% of those infected. This persistent infection can be treated with medication: the standard therapy is a combination of peginterferon and ribavirin, with either boceprevir or telaprevir added in some cases.
Overall, 50?80% of people treated are cured. Those who develop cirrhosis or liver cancer may require a liver transplant. Hepatitis C is the leading cause of liver transplantation, though the virus usually recurs after transplantation"
What are we gonna test for next? This has to be bordering on invasion of privacy and some kind of laws that keep medical records private?
I'm not sure...but the thinking in our society that FUCKING is somehow "dangerous" is kinda strange to me.
The FACTS are that you have a real good chance of dying in a car accident on the way to getting laid.
As far as getting killed while having sex...you might have a heart attack when fucking...
OMG!!!!
That's what the next important "test" needs to be!
We need full EKG's on every performer. Oh the humanity! What if Ron Jeremy had dropped dead during a scene recently from a heart attack!!!!
I am shocked the "industry" hasn't been testing for heart disease all along!
And fuck!!!
What if someone shows up on set with pneumonia??? And spreads it to their co-star AND the entire crew!!!
That is FOUR MILLION DEATHS A YEAR!!!!
I can't believe we, as an "industry", have not been testing for pneumonia before a shoot.
This is outrageous.
From now on...for people to have sex while a camera films it....we MUST have a complete medical staff on site to test for every disease known to man!
I can't believe this hasn't already been done!
