How to Prevent Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C (HCV) is a liver infection caused by a virus. To get it, you have to come in contact with an infected person’s blood. It can become a serious issue if left untreated, so it is important to get it checked out right away! It is curable, but could cause serious health problems if not detected and treated early. The best way to control the spread of HCV is to prevent spreading the virus, if you have it already, and avoid coming into contact with it, if you don't, by avoiding blood contact.
