Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that attacks the liver. It is primarily spread through contact with infected blood, such as sharing needles or other equipment to inject drugs.
How is the Hepatitis C test performed?
The Hepatitis C test involves collecting a small blood sample, which is then analyzed for the presence of specific antibodies produced by the body in response to the virus
Do I need to fast before a Hepatitis C test?
No, fasting is not required before a Hepatitis C blood test.
What does a positive Hepatitis C test mean?
A positive test result means the person has been infected with the Hepatitis C virus. This does not necessarily mean they have active, chronic Hepatitis C - additional testing may be needed to determine the stage of the infection.
What should I do if my Hepatitis C test is positive?
If the test is positive, the next step is to see a healthcare provider who can order additional tests and discuss treatment options. Early treatment is important to prevent liver damage.
How often should I get tested for Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C testing for all adults born between 1945 and 1965, as well as those who have had a blood transfusion or organ transplant before July 1992. Current or former injection drug users should get tested regularly as part of their routine healthcare. Additionally, if you have had a recent unprotected sexual encounter or live with someone who has Hepatitis C, you should consider Hepatitis C testing as part of your regular STD screening.
