What is hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is an infection that is spread when a hepatitis C-infected person’s blood enters the bloodstream of someone who is not infected and leads to the swelling and scarring of the liver. Hepatitis C ranges in severity from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. The virus is spread most commonly through the sharing of needles or sexual contact.

Acute hepatitis C infection

Acute hepatitis C infection is a short-term illness that occurs within the first six months after someone is exposed to the Hepatitis C virus. For most people, acute infection leads to chronic infection.

Chronic hepatitis C infection

Chronic hepatitis C infection is a long-term illness that occurs when the hepatitis C virus remains in a person’s body. If left untreated, hepatitis C infection can last a lifetime and lead to serious liver problems, including cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), cancer and even death.
