Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hepatitis C really be cured?

Yes! Modern direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatments cure Hepatitis C in over 95% of people, usually within 8-12 weeks of oral medication. This is one of the greatest medical advances of recent decades.

I had Hepatitis C but was treated - should I retest?

If you've been cured of Hepatitis C, antibodies remain in your blood permanently. However, you can be reinfected. If you have ongoing risk factors, regular HCV RNA testing is recommended.

How is Hepatitis C transmitted?

Hepatitis C is primarily spread through blood-to-blood contact, most commonly through sharing needles. Sexual transmission is less common but can occur, particularly among HIV-positive MSM. It is not spread through casual contact.
