【Hepatitis C can cause liver cancer. Get tested and treated early】

Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is most commonly transmitted through contact with blood. Around 70% of people infected with HCV will develop chronic hepatitis, which may lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Blood test is required to diagnose hepatitis C, and over 90% of HCV infection can be cured by taking direct-acting antivirals. People at higher risk of HCV infection, such as people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, should get tested and treated earlier.
