It's a very dangerous liver disease that is caused by a virus. There is no vaccine and there is no easy or 100% effective cure for it. Most people who suffer from it got it from contact with an infected person's body fluids. This usually occurs either through sexual contact or sharing needles used to inject recreational drugs like heroin, or accidental infection in a medical setting (needle stick).

.

It is wrong to suggest that there is no cure for Hepc! With advances in medicine there is at least a 50% chance of ridding the liver of this virus. There are some geno types that are harder to cure such as geno type 1. However, geno type 1 has a new treament that is very promising by 2009.
