Hepatitus C and testosterone usage

[Solidrock1951]

Hey fellas:

I know this is not an HIV question but I am hoping this forum might be sympathetic to my question because of the fact that many are saddled with both the HIV and HEP C viruses. I have been reading up on elevated liver enzyme levels and testosterone enanthate use and have been getting somewhat conflicting reports on the amount of damage I could do to my liver on a cycle of say 500mg test enan per week. I really want to do a couple of cycles but am interested in knowing just how damaging they might be to the liver. I know some of the orals can be much worse because they must be metabolized through the liver so I am definitely staying away from them but am wondering if it might be relatively safe doing a simple cycle of test enan if I kept it down to 500 mg per week? I know there are no guarantees as everyones' system is different and many might not respond in the same manner to such a regime but I am just looking for a general answer to the question - nothing specific necessary. If anyone might enlighten me with any knowledge in this area it would be very much appreciated. And no lectures or scare shit please just the facts as you know them thankyou very much - Rock

Honestly I can't find much on testosterone ethanate and hepatits c at all. I was wondering if you could post some information on that because I'm very interested in this. Is it the ester itself that is causing problems or the testosterone?

You're actually in a great position to educate everyone here about this question if you decide to go ahead with this cycle. I for one would be really interested to see a cycle log w/liver values if that's your decision, so please keep me posted. First, since you have hcv, if you do, you're getting your blood done a lot so we could clear up what a test only cycle effect would be on liver values regarding your particular circumstance. I believe ggt is the most indicative value of liver health as alt/ast are signs of how hard it's working not actual damage. That's only my belief and it only applies to short term increases.

I don't know if you've done a cycle before but if you haven't you could go well under 500 mg, even 250 mg, and still get good results (i.e. about 10 pounds lbm) this depending on your current weight - body fat - diet - training - pct and so on. I seriously recommend that since you have hcv you should see how the test treats you at a lower dose and a cycle length of 8 weeks (depending on how you feel and how your liver tests come back you could go longer/shorter). I would also recommend that you do test prop - even though it's every other day - you'll carry less water. It's also my belief that prop is easier on the system but that's my belief and it's why I won't bother with any other form of it.

Eat clean and really research getting a good milk thissle, NAc, SAMe, inosotol, choline, liv 52 and all that shit - stay away from Iron as much as possible.

If you choose to do it --- start up a cycle log! - it could potentially be a huge bennefit for hundreds of others. People who are out there now or who are sure to come along in the future. There is almost nothing on the net about hcv and steroid use...

All the best
