Life / Hepatitis C in Poland...please help. [59]

Not even funny...I got it likely from a doctors office abroad...it rarely comes from sex and I didn't visit a brothel. It costs a LOT of money to treat so its why I am looking for free or cheap options for people with financial problems.

Poland has universal care for citizens,,,,I am a yank on a non work allowed/no insruance karta pobytu. I need to find the cheapest option as it is a very expensive treatment process

Does Poland have mandatory reporting to the government with Hepatitis like in some countries? Is my name on a list somewhere now?

Does anyone know about anonymous HIV testing as well? I am of course worried about everything now because I have no idea what else this clinic infected me with.

I do not want to be kicked out of Poland or not get my visa renewed because I might have HIV as well....I would like to find an anonymous testing service like in the US.

Yeah I want to find out if there is an anonymous testing option in Poland...as I know it here you even have to make an appointment to get the answer from a doctor (did it here a while ago for a visa) so there is no anonymity available that route since I had to show a valid document to receive them.

Thanks to all who helped...and to the others....I am not spreading anything to anyone. I live alone and do not go around injecting people with my blood. People like you are why I am so afraid for anyone to know about this. It is not like some Plague that spreads by air and kills everyone you touch. It has to be a blood exchange...I am convinced I got it in a clinic during medical treatment for another problem that did not change needles or something..its the only exposure I had. I am not gay.....and do not do IV drugs or anything else that could exchange it....but that is irrelevant and that kind of stupidity is why I am nervous.

Do some reading idiots...they dont even tell married couples to worry about spreading HepC during Sex...only to watch out for sharing things with blood like a razor and even then they have no documented cases they are just being careful. Its by blood infusion/injection...

So many people are so nasty and cruel that I am afraid for anyone to know and label me for life unfairly. I do not think I have HIV but if they injected me with this who knows what else I may have now. Blame ****** doctors not me.

Yeah you don't understand, there is nothing simple about my situation, so thanks for your advice.

I asked for specific info and you feel the need to judge me and make a joke? About something like this? I hope it made you feel good.

Yeah they exist...but the quality is horrible and they do not offer many services and are rarely "free".

To say this like it is so simple is very misleading.

The US medical system is a pay for service system and other than stabilizing you in an emergency they have no obligation to do anything else.

This is why the health insurance/medical business mess is such a problem. Millions of Americans do not have insurance and have no access to quality care.

I am sick of people that haven't been in the "system" acting like it is simple.
