What is Hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. It's primarily transmitted through contact with infected blood. While some individuals clear the virus naturally, many develop a chronic infection, which can lead to serious liver complications over time, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Why Get Tested for Hepatitis C?

Testing is crucial if you:

  • Have ever shared needles or other drug-injecting equipment.
  • Received a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1991 in the UK.
  • Have had unprotected sex with a partner who may be infected.
  • Were born to a mother with Hepatitis C.
  • Have symptoms suggestive of liver disease, such as fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal pain.
  • Have ever had a tattoo or piercing with unsterilised equipment.

Early detection allows for timely treatment, reducing the risk of liver damage and preventing transmission to others.

Symptoms of Hepatitis C

Many people with Hepatitis C do not experience symptoms, especially in the early stages. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • Fatigue
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
  • Dark urine
  • Abdominal pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Joint pain

How is the Test Performed?

The Hepatitis C test is a straightforward blood test conducted by a qualified healthcare professional. The sample is sent to a UK-accredited laboratory for analysis. The test detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus, indicating whether you've been exposed to the virus.

Understanding Your Results

  • Negative Result: No antibodies detected; you have not been exposed to the virus.
  • Positive Result: Antibodies detected; further testing may be required to determine if the infection is current or from a past exposure.

If your results are positive, you can book a separate consultation with a healthcare provider to discuss the next steps, including potential treatment options.
