Yeoww! Great story.
I have O- blood which means I can donate to anyone, but only O-
can donate to me. So when my Dad decided to head-on (apply
directly to the forehead!) a car in the middle of bumf*ck Indiana in
1962, and I broke the winshield with my face, they had to fly in
some blood. It was probably infected with Hep C.
Fast forward 35 years. Doc sez "OMG you have Hep C antibodies!!.
Gotta do more tests but you probably have it. Not a good thing.
So he does a genetic screen and there is no Hep C genetic material.
None. What this means is that I had it, and beat it. It's 100%
conclusive and very rare to do that.
I had to change docs a while back and the new doc goes OMG you
have Hep C antibodies!! and I try to tell her that I don't have the
genetic material. She smiles indulgently and tells me I am getting
the test anyway because the first test must have been wrong. So,
we do another genetic test. She calls me back "you don't have any
genetic material!, no hep C"!!
And this is basically the sequence of events whenever I have a new
doc...
The good side is that the blood bank, which used to bug me every
4 days for blood (being I can donate to anyone) and were often
quite insistent (can't blame them), now run screaming from the
room when I reveal that I have Hep C antibodies. They don't even
CARE that I beat it and am negative. No more calls from the
vampires!
Glad your partner is OK!

Well, you could come up with a song pretty easily:
Sung to the tune of "Casey Jones" by the Grateful Dead:
Blood on my brain, feeling some pain,
Ambulance you'd better, hit top speed,
E.R. ahead, trouble behind,
Doctor please be ready, to fix up my mind,
:D

Don that's amazing! Maybe you're a candidate for Hep C genetic
resistance research.
I just played a benefit for a hep C organization:
http://www.hepc-connection.org/ - Looks like a good resource for
information and support for anyone who just got the bad news.
Deej, wow, that's lucky alright! Bummer that he had to have a cerebral
hemorrhage. But if you gotta have one, the ER is the place to do it.
Cheers,
-Jamie
