OVERVIEW
What is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is a disease caused by a virus that infects the liver. In time, it can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure. Many people have hepatitis C and never know it. Hepatitis C is not HIV and is different from hepatitis A and B. You may be at higher risk of getting hepatitis C if you:
- use needles to inject drugs
- inhale (snort) drugs like cocaine
- received a blood transfusion before 1992
- have tattoos or piercings with non-sterile equipment
- were born to a mother with hepatitis C
