What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus and can be transmitted by sharing needles or other injection equipment as well as through sex. For some, hepatitis C is a short-term illness but for 70%–85% of people who become infected, Hepatitis C can becomes a long-term, chronic infection and cause many complications, even death.
Why Should I Test for Hepatitis C?
Chronic Hepatitis C is a serious disease. It can result in long-term health problems, even death. The majority of infected persons may not be aware of their infection because they are not clinically ill. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C.

FAQs about Hepatitis C
- What is Hepatitis C?
-
Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver. A viral infection causes inflammation of the liver. The virus responsible for this condition is called the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).
- How do you contract Hep C?
-
Hepatitis C is a contagious disease. A person having contact with the body fluids of infected persons could contact this disease. It is important to note that the virus is present in the blood alone. Therefore it can be contracted by sharing injections and needles.
One can also contract Hep C by having sexual intercourse with an affected person during the menstruation period. Extra-genital forms of penetration such as anal intercourse can also transmit the virus. Saliva does not carry the virus, hence, it is unlikely to contract Hep C via kissing or oral sex.
Tattooing and body piercing can also transmit the virus if unsterilized needles are used.
- What are the symptoms of Hepatitis C?
-
Symptoms can occur between two to 26 weeks after the infection. They can be classified into three stages:
Normal Hepatitis C:
You may experience fatigue, muscle aches, and tenderness in the abdomen. Your bowel movements would be light in color. Your eyes and skin may acquire a yellowish tinge with your urine displaying a dark yellow color.Acute Hepatitis C:
In addition to the above symptoms, you may experience nausea and low-grade fever along with chills. You may also suffer from loss of appetite and have mood swings. Many people have reported itching of the skin as well. There can be an accumulation of fluid at the feet. There have been cases of people vomiting blood.Chronic Hepatitis:
The symptoms would be the same as in the Acute Hepatitis C, although some people go for years without displaying any symptoms. The medical community refers to this condition as dormant or latent Hepatitis C. This disease can suddenly manifest with liver inflammation and scarring. Complications may include acquiring liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and ultimately death. - What to do if you test positive for Hepatitis C?
-
It is important to take a copy of your lab test results to you healthcare provider to discuss possible treatment and follow up.
- Is there a cure for Hep C?
-
The latest antiviral drugs can cure Hepatitis C. Some of the more common drugs in use are Simeprevir, Ledipasvir, and Dasabuvir.

What Happens If I Test Positive?
If you test positive, instruction will be provided on how to obtain a free telemedicine consultation with a physician in your state. This physician may be able to prescribe treatment for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trich, BV, Yeast, Genital Herpes or UTI. Depending on the infection, you may also need to retest after treatment to confirm the infection is gone.
It is crucial that you inform your sexual partners of your test results, whether they’re positive or negative. Sharing this information will help stop the spread of any infection and will allow your partners to seek testing and treatment immediately if necessary.
Keep testing. Just because you’ve tested once does not mean that you shouldn’t test again. In fact, it’s common to get infected with certain STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, multiple times. myLAB Box recommends that you test every few months, especially if you’ve received a positive result in the past.
