When first being diagnosed with Hepatitis C, it
can be a hard coming to terms with this news.
There are many ways to contract the disease such
as tattoos, sharing a needle with someone that
was infected, or even a blood transfusion are
the most common ways. While it is a severe
disease, there are now different ways to treat
Hepatitis C.

Decrease Alcohol Intake While alcoholic
beverages might not have been the original method
of contracting the disease, it does play a part
in how healthy your liver is, an organ that
Hepatitis C effects.

Medication There is now an antiviral medication
that can try to rid the body of the disease.
Those that are affected will have to take an
anti-viral drug for about 12 weeks for the
medications to work.

Visiting the Doctor One way to see if you have
caught the viral infection unknowingly before
it spreads is to schedule a regular visit to your
doctor. They often will test the body for any
