Hepatitis C is spread mainly through the blood. If you share needles or works to inject drugs, you have a high chance of getting infected. People who had a blood transfusion before 1992 also might find out that they are infected with hepatitis C. Unlike the other hepatitis viruses, the virus that causes hepatitis C may not make you feel very sick. In fact, you can be infected and not even know it. Hepatitis C can be a serious illness. Most people who get hepatitis C never get rid of the virus completely. Over time, it can cause permanent liver problems. There is no vaccine to prevent it. If you have hepatitis C, you can still get hepatitis A and B. |
