Hepatitis C affects more than 150 million people across the world but many are unaware they have the highly infectious virus.
The blood-borne virus is curable but has previously been dubbed a 'silent killer' as it can go unnoticed for decades with no symptoms appearing until damage has been done. The illness can cause live disease, resulting in warning signs such as fatigue and difficulty concentrating. Hepatitis C is also linked to cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, musculoskeletal pain as well as mental health issues.
Around 118,000 people across the UK suffered with chronic hepatitis C in 2019, according to health figures, with the illness potentially becoming a life long health issue if left untreated.
However, with modern treatments, Hep C is usually curable with most previously infected individuals going on to enjoy a normal life expectancy. Effective antiviral drugs cure more than 95 per cent of cases with minimal side effects, meaning it is hoped the virus can be eliminated.
The virus is spread from person to person through the blood of an infected individual, the Mirror reports.
Many are infected with hepatitis C without realising as there are usually no noticeable symptoms until the liver becomes damaged by the infection.
And when warning signs do appear, they are often mistaken for other health conditions.
According to the NHS, symptoms can include:
Loss of appetite
Looking out for the symptoms listed above is a good marker. However, the only way to know if you have hep C for sure is to get tested. If you are concerned you should speak to your GP or local sexual health clinic.
The virus is usually spread through blood-to-blood contact with an infected person.
Hepatitis C is often a short-term illness.
