Sexually Transmitted Infections: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)

Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Introduction:
Hepatitis is a disease that affects the liver. There are 5 types, identified by letters A through E. Hepatitis C is the liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), found only in the blood of persons with this disease. Hepatitis C is the most common chronic (persistent/long-term) blood-borne infection in the US. Blood-borne means it can only be transmitted by blood, not through the air or from an object like a toilet seat. This challenges questions and dispels myths about Hepatitis C.
