Question by Hannah B: How does heroin effect interferon treatment?
Please don’t lecture me, I’m determined to stay clean. I just want a straight answer. I am 16 and have 39 weeks left in a 48 week course of interferon treatment for hepatitis C. Would it be pointless for someone to keep taking the interferon if they were getting high? How does it effect the treatment?

Best answer:

Answer by Suzanne
You should continue to take the Interferon regardless of whether you are on the ‘heroin’.

According to the Swiss Association for Addiction Medicine “Intravenous drug use generally does not negatively influence the outcome of a hepatitis C therapy” Source: http://www.arud.ch/fachbeitraege/somatik/SSAM_Hep_C_engl.pdf

and

“Overall, IVDUs and non-drug users do not differ with respect to HCV treatment eligibility and prognosis.” Source: http://www.arud.ch/fachbeitraege/somatik/poster_arud_hep_0604.ppt

The New Zealand prison system maintains people on methadone who use Interferon for HCV. Source: http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/0/29cd3350b8b7bc1ccc256a800076bab8/$ FILE/MethadoneDraftProtocol.pdf

Question by LAGrrl: My mother is a Bitch?
My mother is a bitch. A few days ago, my mother told me a story about my niece. She said my niece was going on the internet looking for “sugardaddys” to sell her body to. This concerned me a lot. My niece was raped a few years ago, has two children out of wedlock, never knew her father, mother abused her, left home at 17…. she has issues. My mother also told me my niece was dancing naked in a “gentleman’s club.” I asked my mother if she heard of something called an “intervention,” and began discussing other ways we could help my niece.
“Let’s get her some counseling.” I said
“She doesn’t want it.” my mother said
“Usually if someone is selling their body, and they tell their grandmother about it, it is a cry for help. I think she wants help, and this is her way of asking.” I said.
