Hepatitis C is an illness caused when the hepatitis C virus (HCV) enters a person’s body and is spread through blood. Many people with hepatitis C do not look or feel sick, so they may not know they have this illness. Getting tested is the only way to know if you have hepatitis C.
Without treatment, HCV can lead to problems with your liver, can cause cancer, and even death. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. In the U.
S., hepatitis C is one of the most common hepatitis illnesses. Hepatitis C made 2 million people ill in 2022 (CDC Vital Signs, Sept.
21, 2022). Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.
