Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The disease attacks the liver and is contracted through blood-to-blood contact. Intravenous drug use or blood transfusions are the typical means
of contracting the virus. An estimated 170 million people worldwide are infected by hepatitis C. No vaccine
is available. Early detection and and anti-viral medication can completely clear up symptoms of infection. Advanced infection causes cirrhosis and/or liver cancer.
