Can I ever donate blood if I once lived with someone with HCV? - hcv more condition_symptoms

They have lived with this person for more than a year.
Were tested negative 3 times in 3 years.
I am as a carrier, unless expressly infected?

They can not be infected with hepatitis C through life with someone. It is rare for by sex. Need of blood to blood contact are transmitted, so that when the blood is exchanged during sex, then the transfer of a risk.
In most cases of hepatitis C by other means to transfer such as blood transfusions, intravenous drug use, sharing straws when snorting drugs, sharing razors with an infected person, etc.
So to answer your question, yes, you can donate blood unless they are tested positive for antibodies to HCV. Best wishes.

My father had hepatitis C for 30 years and it is beautiful, and my mother has never tested positive.
They are just making a donation.

A carrier is someone who tests positive but has no symptoms.
