Hepatitis C is a viral infection that produces inflammation in the liver and can result in serious liver damage. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted via contaminated blood. HCV is usually treatable with daily oral medicines for two to six months. Despite this, about half of those infected with HCV are unaware of their infection, owing to the lack of symptoms, which can take decades to manifest. As a result, the U.S Preventive Services Task Force recommends that all people aged 18 to 79 be tested for hepatitis C, even if they have no symptoms.
