Who Is at Risk for Hepatitis C?

Individuals who have previously used non-disposable syringes or intravenous infusion equipment, or those who have had sexual contact with hepatitis C patients, are at increased risk of contracting hepatitis C. To prevent hepatitis C infection, injections must be performed only at正规 hospitals where instruments undergo thorough sterilization, adequate medical equipment is available, disposable syringes are used, and blood-contaminated materials and other contaminants are properly disinfected. Additionally, rigorous blood screening must be conducted prior to blood transfusions to prevent transmission of the hepatitis C virus.
