Hepatitis C and HIV are on the rise and there are many people living with viruses who are oblivious to their status. Some choose to be tested, others are aware and chose not to act on it. For every one person with Hep C, it is said that ten more become infected. Education about the risks of contamination and how the infection can spread is paramount to protecting ones self, especially in vulnerable or more susceptible groups. Treatment has changed, providing a 95% success rate of clearing the virus, quicker and less evasive with very few side effects. Get tested, know your status, access Hep B vaccinations, talk to somebody about the available treatment.
