DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH HER NOW!!!!
DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH HER NOW!!!!
PAM Anderson has Hep C
- Thread starter TIME TO MAKE $$$
- Start date
Shockerooooo. With all those tattoos on her body, I'm surprised Hep C's all she's got. Now she's trying to pin it on Tommy Lee, what a crock. I'd like to see how she gets the evidence that Tommy gave her Hep C and not any other tattoo artists that put the other tattoos on her.
Gee....I thought Hepatitis C was usually spread through sexual contact, however the article said the biggest problem was sharing contageous infected needles. Can someone help me out here? Isn't Hepatitis C usually spread through sexual contact?
Dr Freeze, feel free to add anything I left out.
HepA is transmitted thru fecal/oral route only, so you can get it through eating contaminated food. Or if you like to eat shit, and that shit is from an HepA infected person, then you'll likely to get it.
HepB is transmitted mostly thru sexual contact, and blood born product (anything that's in contact with the blood of an infected person). That's why children need to be immunized for HepB when they're young, and in college.
HepC is transmitted mostly thru blood or blood born product, most commonly thru blood transfusion, or reused tattoo needles, sharing IV drug needles. Although with the extensive blood screening process, acquiring HepC thru blood transfusion is pretty much unheard of now-a-days. HepC can also be transmitted through sexual contacts, but it's rate is very low, don't remember the percentages, but we're talking 1-5%. So Pam Anderson could have gotten it through sleeping with any of the hundreds of men that she slept with:brows:, or the other tattoo needles that were used for her other tattoos, or her IV drug needles, the possibilities are endless. Thus, if she wants to sue Tommy Lee, she's on a very shakey ground.
Cannot get HepD without being HepB positive first.
There is immunization for HepA, HepB, NOT HepC, or D, E, F, G. But if you're immunized for HepB, then you don't have to worry about getting HepD

not something you want.......wonder how she knows that she got it through a tatoo needle......thought she had kids with this guy......hopefully children are okay......
only 15% recover from Hep C......the rest are pretty much gonna in big trouble after 10 years when they develop chronic active hep and then in 20 years cirhossis with possible hep. carcinoma.......if she drinks this timeline will speed up.....
Dr. Freeze's tip of the day......be careful who you mate with

don't know how old she is, but 15 years from now she will look like she has aged 40 years in those 15.......just wait and see.....
hey doc
hey doc
Hey doc,
If she had children and was infected during childbirth...what are the chances its spread to the child?

That's a shocker. A whore gets an STD. Think Kid Rock is sweating?
I'm sure it had nothing to do with gobbling up that foot long, crotch rotted groupie slammer of his in every hole she's got over and over and over again.
Which Needle? The Tatoo Needle or the Flesh Needles?
That Beeeaaatch, No matter how hot she is( and I do think she is a Hot Woman ), If she had as many sticking out of her as she has had stuck in her she would look like a Porcupine!
But how many of you fella's would still like to strap one on and have a little Hoo Ride with that Pony? Huh huh?
Damn, the price of her real estate just fell to Rock Bottom! Or might I say Kid Rock Bottom!

Dr Frezze, again, feel free to correct me. I haven't hit the books in quite a while.
Kevin, that's a tough question. There isn't enough research on HepC so we don't really know everything about it. In HepB, if you're a infected mother, the rate of transmission to your new born is 99%, and 90% of the newborn will end up having chronic hepatitis. BUT in HepC, the rate drops drastically. If I remember correctly, it's about the same rate as catching HepC through sexual contact (1-5%). Her kids are at low risk, but they definitely needs to have them checked out.
As Dr Freeze said, she's pretty screwed, even with treatment. The mean time in symptomatic development of HepC from chronic hepatitis, to cirrhosis, and to hepatocellular carcinoma is 10yrs, 20yrs, 30yrs. I suspect she's already sick, that's why she found out that she has contracted HepC, so she's already in the chronic hepatitis phase.

First off, thanks for info. I must have somehow in the past made a mental note to myself that the only way that I could catch Hepatitis C
was through sexual contact as I don't ever use needles. But I'm still a little confused (the usual for me) regarding the incidence of contacting the disease. When you say the chance of contacting Hepatitis C is 1%-5% through sexual transfer, is this the percentage of people that have contacted the disease as a result of sexual activity vs all other methods or is this the incidence of contacting the disease if one has sexual relations with a person that's already infected? Just curious. I had thought that one of the reasons that Hepatitis C was so rampant was the sexual nature of its' transfer. Again, thanks for the previous post.

if you have sex with an infected person, chances are 1-5% you get hepC.......so have sex with the infected person many times and you most likely get it.....this disease can be as deadly as AIDS and is less treatable....
Sure auspice, no prob.
Dr Freeze is right. The way I look at it is that out of 100 non-HepC people who have sex with a HepC+ person, 1~5 of them will contract HepC, ON AVG. As far as sexual transfer being the primary mode, you may have mistaken HepC from HepB. So if you're not immunized against HepB, go do it NOW!! HepC was the most deadly blood born disease in the late 70's and early 80's until they started the screening process. Then we all know the late 80's and 90's is the HIV virus. Now that it's the 2000's, I'm afraid what the experts will find next in our blood that is deadlier than HIV and HepC.

I did a little studying and theres some mix of treatment you can get that is curing 50% of hep c cases. Nice to hear, they also say their confident they will find a cure for it in the short term. I read this at many different venues. Good to hear!
Kevin:
I applaud you for being interested and read up on HepC, I think that is what everyone needs to do. They need to educate themselves about prevention and not rely on going to doctors for treatment and expect things to be OK. Those reports you read, however, may have been a little misleading. Up until now, there is no known effective vaccines for HepC, and it will not be effective for a quite a long time. The mix therapy you are talking about is probably interferon and ribavirin, studies have shown that less than half of those who were treated will have favorable outcome. Although there are many different mono or multiple drug therapy for HepC, 50% of the patients who end up in remission (meaning having normal liver enzymes, but not cured) will relapse, and once they relapse will require retreatment that will be almost invariably unsuccessful. Even if you end up having normal liver enzymes, you will still have "flare-ups" of acute hepatitis, such as jaundice, malaise, nausea, not to mention the extrahepatic complications like autoimmune disease, and lymph diseases.
Sorry for being so morbid, as in healthcare you need to be upbeat and optimistic. But I'm one of those people who like to tell it like it is, and not offer any false hopes. HepC has been around for a long time. There are close to 200million people all over the world infected with HepC, and we've know about HepC for a long time. So that tell you how difficult it is to fight this monster. Prevention is always the best way to fight any diseases, but unfortunately it's easier said than done. I am, however, optimistic that we will some day find a cure for it, God know we have enough researchers working their asses off everyday to find it. I just don't want people going around thinking that there is cure right around the corner and continue to act irresponsibly.
