– What is Hepatitis C? –

Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks your liver, causing serious complications and many times, can even be fatal. Hepatitis C is the top reason for liver transplants in the United States. Though about 2.7 million people in the U.S. have chronic Hepatitis C, it’s been called the “silent epidemic” because people can be infected for 30 years or longer before they experience symptoms. And by then, life-threatening damage has already occurred.

Hepatitis C spreads by infected blood, so the most common way to catch it is sharing needles, syringes, or other instruments used to inject drugs. More rarely, unsterilized tattoo guns, razors or a blood transfusion prior to 1992.

Most people don’t experience strong symptoms for decades, but 3 in 4 adults that catch it develop a chronic infection. The only way to know for sure that you have Hepatitis C is to get tested!
