This wording is a little ambiguous because "catch" can mean both diagnoses and the point of infection. So I read that as you were infected by hep c during a cosmetic medical procedure.
- hep_c_throwaway 7y agoSorry, English isn't my first language. To clarify, I signed up for an elective cosmetic medical procedure. The doctor ordered pretty much every available lab test there is to check for any possible complications. One of the test revealed that I had elevated liver enzymes. A couple of follow-on tests later confirmed Hep C. I never went to through with the original cosmetic procedure because I'm no longer in the mood for it.
