What Is Hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is a blood-borne virus and can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, including sharing needles or other injection equipment, as well as through sexual activity.

For some people, Hepatitis C is a short-term illness. However, for approximately 70%–85% of those infected, the virus develops into a long-term, chronic infection that can lead to serious complications, including liver damage, liver cancer, or death if left untreated.

Why Should I Get Tested for Hepatitis C?

Chronic Hepatitis C is a serious condition that can result in long-term health complications or death. Many people with Hepatitis C are unaware they are infected because they do not experience noticeable symptoms.

There is currently no vaccine for Hepatitis C, making regular testing especially important for early detection and treatment.
