There is no vaccine for Hep C although it is a potentially curable infection. It is spread via blood, sexual and vertical transmission (mother to foetus), with blood transmission being the key route. There is no suppressive treatment or post-exposure prophylaxis.

Medical treatment involves ribavirin and interferon, with the aim of curing infection.

Surgical treatment could involve a liver transplant, although hep c will recur in the new organ.
