Hepatitis C Information

Can I give Hepatitis C to my family or friends?

People who are infected with Hepatitis C, even if they feel completely well, still carry the virus.

You cannot pass on the infection to family and friends. However as your blood contains the virus you should take the following precautions:

• Clean up blood spillages with bleach and gloves
• Cover cuts with waterproof plasters
• Don't share razors or toothbrushes with other people
• When you are having your body tattooed, make sure it is done by someone who uses sterile equipment every time
