Hepatitis C is a viral infection that silently attacks the liver. It often spreads through infected blood, like sharing needles or contaminated equipment. Many people don't experience symptoms for years, making early detection crucial.
The good news? Hepatitis C is curable! New, safe, and effective medications can eliminate the virus in as little as 8-12 weeks. Talk to your doctor about various treatment options based on your specific case.
While there's no vaccine, you can protect yourself:– Avoid sharing needles and personal care items like razors.– Practice safe sex.– Get tested if you're at risk, especially if you've ever injected drugs.
A positive diagnosis doesn't have to define you. With proper treatment and supportive communities, you can live a healthy and fulfilling life. Stay connected with doctors, manage stress, and prioritize healthy habits.
