Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
My mom's aide had a plalette test that was low. Looking it up online, it referred to hep C. I was under the impression that she had a false positive once but recent tests proved negative. Now the story goes that she did test positive, the dr said she would never have guessed from her liver function and that needles were the only way of transmission (basically it wasn't a false pos). Why do I see that housemates are at risk? She says not. If we are, how? How do we avoid risk, if possible?
