⭐ What This Test Detects
Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver. Many people who become infected
develop a long-term (chronic) infection, often without symptoms for many years.
How Hepatitis C is transmitted:
• Blood-to-blood contact
• Sharing needles or sharp objects
• Tattooing or body piercing with unsterilised equipment
• Sharing razors or toothbrushes
• Accidental needle-stick injuries
• Mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy or birth
Sexual transmission is less common but can occur, especially in higher-risk sexual activity.
Signs and symptoms (often none at first):
Most people do not have early symptoms, which is why testing is important.
If symptoms develop, they may include:
• Persistent tiredness
• Body aches or joint pain
• Digestive discomfort
• Difficulty concentrating (“brain fog”)
Symptoms often appear slowly and may take years to become noticeable.
Why testing matters:
Undetected Hepatitis C can:
• Cause chronic liver inflammation
• Lead to liver scarring (fibrosis or cirrhosis)
• Increase the risk of liver failure or liver cancer
• Remain unnoticed until serious liver damage has occurred
Early screening allows timely medical care and prevents long-term complications.
Treatment overview:
Hepatitis C is treatable with modern antiviral medicines under medical care. Early detection
greatly improves outcomes.
Who should test:
• Anyone who has ever shared needles or sharp objects
• Anyone with tattoos or piercings done in non-medical settings

• Healthcare workers or anyone exposed to blood
• Anyone with unexplained liver problems
• Anyone who has never tested for Hepatitis C
