"Not Me!"

Hepatitis C? No way! Not me!
I am a good girl, I am; that’s me;
No angel, but see….
No tattoos, no drugs, not even a snort!
Hepatitis C? Perish the thought!

What’s that you ask?
Needle stick injury,
Or blood transfusion?
No, not me. See, wrong conclusion!
Shared razors, toothbrushes,
Or body piercing?
Ah, well now, you know you’ve got me listening!
Would never have thought, but now I know
Hepatitis C? Could well be me!

Hepatitis C? No way! Not me!
Had a vaccine, don’t you know,
Way back, long ago.
What’s that you say?
No means? No way?
Was hepatitis B? Ah, yes, possibly!

Now I’m convinced, diagnosis correct.
Where to now? What happens next?
Tests? What tests? Then treatment to follow?
Can’t it just wait until tomorrow?
“Best start early, the fight”,
Yes, I know you’re right.
So what’s the plan? Tablets & injections?
For 48 weeks? Good lord, that’s a sentence!
Hepatitis C? I’m scared! It’s me!
