Answer 2

Don't listen to these people above me. If it is detected early enough it can be treated and cured. You will always have the Hepatitis C anti-body, but that doesn't mean the virus will be active. If you recently contracted it, the first thing your doctor should do is give you vaccines against Hep A and B, If you contract one of those while you have Hep C it can be fatal, but Hep A and B can be easily vaccinated against. Your doctor should also tell you to stop drinking any alcohol, that of course affects the liver as does Hepatitis C.

It will not cause you to need a liver transplant unless you have had the disease unknowingly for years and continued to do things that would effect your livers ability to function, like use drugs or drink a lot. Simple blood tests can tell if you have the virus or if you have been exposed to it. You can be exposed to it, but not actually have the virus in your body.

Answer 3

blood-borne, infectious, viral disease that is caused by a hepatotropic virus called Hepatitis C virus (HCV).[1] The infection can cause liver inflammation that is often asymptomatic, but ensuing chronic hepatitis can result later in cirrhosis (fibrotic scarring of the liver) and liver cancer.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Like HIV, HCV is caused by a retrovirus, and while the symptoms can be medically managed, there are no curative treatements. Although modification of diet and early medical intervention are helpful, people with HCV infection often experience mild symptoms, and subesquently do not seek treatment.[1] An estimated 150-200 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C. In the U.S., those with a history of intravenous drug use, tattoos, or who have been exposed to blood via unsafe sex or social practices are high risk for this disease. Hepatitis C is the leading cause of liver transplant in the United States.

The hepatitis C virus is one of six known hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, E, G
