Hepititus C Posted: 07-23-08 10:04am
I don't know how I got it, because I have
had a blood transfusion and later had a
tatoo, and have had unprotected sex.
Anyway, I would like more information
about this condition. Thanks,

Inflammation of the liver caused by
hepatitis C virus is known as hepatitis
C.
HCV is one of the most common causes of
chronic liver disease (at least 75% of
people infected with hepatitis C develop
ongoing, long term disease), which can
progress to the point at which the liver
begins to fail.
Recent transfusions of blood poses zero
risk for hepatitis C, but, it isn't
excluded possibility (blood and blood
product routinely are tested for this
virus).
What kind of symptom you have?

I don't have any symptoms right now I feel
just fine. I am not taking anything for
it. My doctor just asked me to take Milk
Thistle. But I have not been taking that,
low on money.
I continue to have unprotected sex, but I
am worried about my Husband catching it.
