You can contact Hep-c at any time. You get hep-c from blood to blood contact. If the woman is in her period, then either partner can catch it from sex. Otherwise, hep-c is not caught from sex. To catch hep-c, there must be blood to blood contact. Treatment has nothing to do with it. As long as there are virus particles in the patient's blood, a person can infect other people. Hep-c differs from AIDS. With AIDS, if a person sneezes and that sneeze hits the wall, oxygen will destroy the HIV virus immediately. The HCV virus can live for a week. The only good part is that it has to enter through a cut.
Yes, why? Treatment only treats the symptoms, it doesn't cure anything. Hep C is still there so the partner is exposed to the virus.
This is not recommended. The liver is still quite vulnerable to injury, even after treatment of hepatitis C.
You will only need treatment for Hepatitis C is when it is chronic. If you have hepatitis C and it's not chronic you just need need to watch yourself, but no actual legit treatment will be necessary unless told by your doctor.

Correct. There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C. There are medications that can help treat it but none have been found to be effective for prevention.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (ww w.ultimatelifeclinic .com) in March, 2020. Their treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
Is there any possibility ,after pateint tretment ,patient is carrier from others?
Hepatitis A is usually contracted by contaminated food. Although very contagious it is treatable and curable. Hepatitis C is typically contracted by drug users and sexually. It damages the liver tissue and commonly leads to Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer, but can be managed with treatment.
Hepatitis C is commonly treated with weekly injections of pegylated interferon alfa and a capsule of Ribavirin given twice daily. Interferon injections boost the immune system to attack liver cells infected with the hepatitis C virus and also inhibits viral replication. Ribavirin capsules inhibit the replication and infectivity of the hepatitis C virus.The treatment for Hepatitis C typically lasts 24-48 weeks. Hepatitis C is curable in more than 50% of patients, but a various number of factors influence the likelihood of a patient responding to treatment. Those factors are: strain of virus, gender, weight, viral load, age, and the extent of scarring in the liver.
Currently, the most common treatment for Hepatitis C is the antiviral medicine peginterferon, which helps control the virus and prevent further damage to the body's liver, such as cirrhosis. In some instances, a liver transplant may be needed.
