Hepititus C Risk= Relationship Problems
Ok, so the boyfriend was exposed to a patient with hep C about 3 months ago (he's a firefighter). The guy was on some substance, there was drool, and my BF was the lucky guy to check this dudes vitals. His stethiscope ear pieces fell into the patients saliva, before he realized this he had put them into his ears. Ew I know.
So here's the problem...
Before this our sex life was not so good. We were trying to work on it, but he has a lot of catholic guilt when it comes to sex, and I'm an overcommitter- constantly taking on too much, over-stressed, busybody. We both have issues.
Anyway, after he got exposed to Hep C, what little water there was in the sex pool has dried up. We're not allowed to have intercourse for 6 mos (for fear of transmission), and it's destroying all the romance we had. We haven't even gone on a date since January.
I feel really disconnected from him, and I would love any advice for non-sexual things to help keep the intimacy and bond between us strong. Currently we're both easily pissy, stressed and on edge. Help please...? Also, what are the changes his particular exposure was dangerous?
