Hepatitis C is a disease that infects the liver. It can be mild to severe. Although it may not cause symptoms, Hepatitis C can cause serious liver damage, leading to liver cancer or scarring of the organ (cirrhosis). The condition often goes undetected as it does not always have symptoms, or only mild, flu-like symptoms. The disease is not always curable but can be treated with antiviral medication.

 

When should I get tested?

Hepatitis C is most commonly transmitted through sharing needles used to inject drugs. It is more of a blood virus, & less easily transmitted through bodily fluids, but it can also be transmitted through sexual contact, or by sharing toothbrushes or razors with an infected person.

 

What the test includes

The test for Hepatitis C is a simple blood test.

FAQs

In the acute stages, Hepatitis C usually manifests with mild symptoms similar to the flu, such as nausea, vomiting, mild fever, & joint pain. In some cases, there will be no symptoms at all, which is why it often goes undetected.
 
Despite its symptoms, Hepatitis C is a serious disease that can cause permanent damage to the liver if left untreated.
 
The window period for Hepatitis is roughly two months, so if you are concerned about infection, it is best to wait until this time period has passed from your first exposure. If you have the test sooner, the results will not be accurate.
