Hepatitis C is a virus spread via blood-to-blood contact with someone who has an active hepatitis C infection. Risk factors for hepatitis C can include the following:
- Those who have had cosmetic or health related surgeries and dental work done in countries or premises with poor infection control.
- Tattoos and piercings done in countries or premises with poor infection control.
- Recipients of blood transfusions before 1996 and/or those who have received treatment with an NHS blood product before 1986 in England.
- Female genital mutilation.
- Injecting drug use, including steroids, even just once.
- People born or raised in a country with a higher prevalence of Hepatitis C (Egypt, Pakistan, Portugal including Madeira, Russia, Poland and former Soviet republic states including Moldova, Latvia and Romania).
Hepatitis C is often without symptoms and if undetected prolonged infection can lead to liver cirrhosis (irreversible scarring) and liver cancer. Hepatitis C is curable with up to 95% success, in just 8-12 weeks of treatment (tablets). No one should lose their life to Hepatitis C, and due to its symptomless nature early detection is vital.
