Hi all,
    those of you who have been here since at least 2004 should someway
recall my story.
I'm male, have been infected with HCV for 8 years (since 1996) until I
started treatment in October 2004.
Pre-treatment labs revealed that I had genotype 4, a very low viral load
(3,500 IU/ml) and slightly elevated ALT (~ 69).
Viral load was undetectable at week 4, and LFTs went back in the range
since then. I stayed clear during all the treatment which I completed in
September 2005. Viral load was undetectable at the end of treatment, 3
months and 6 months after the end of treatment so doctor told me I
obtained SVR.
More than this, I had all the routine labs scheduled 1 year after the
end of treatment, in September 2006 (4 months ago) and, again, they
showed undetectable viral load, normal LFTs and everything else in the
range.

Now in December my partner and I had some GI symptoms, something like
the usual GI flu symptoms with mild stomach aches and diarrhea.
She had another episode of it at the beginning of the year and I had one
too just few days after.

Her doctor then decided to schedule lab tests for her and today we
discovered that her ALT was 118 at the time of the symptoms. The doctor
already scheduled HCV antibodies test for her.

No doubt I am already in panic.

I need your opinion: I know that sexual transmission is possible but
rare, although I've read something about a French study showing higher
sexual transmission rates for genotype 4 in HIV/HCV coinfected
homosexual men.

We are a monogamous, heterosexual couple.
Last time we checked for HIV was in 2002, when she was pregnant and we
were both negative. Since then we've not had any risky behavior.
The same goes for me about HCV: I had no risky behavior after diagnosis
and, most of all, after treatment.

In spite of this I am feeling worse than how I felt in 2004.
The idea of passing it to her makes me crazy.
I am feeling really bad.
What do you think about it? Is it possible given all the factors listed
above?

Thanks in advance,
jeeb.
