                What Is Hepatitis C
                Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). HCV is a bloodborne virus. Transmission can happen through sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; from the gestational parent to baby during pregnancy or at birth; or rarely through sexual contact.

                  * Chronic Hepatitis C
                  * Hepatitis C Figures & Tables
                Today, in the United States, the majority of persons become infected with HCV by sharing needles or other equipment used to inject drugs. For certain persons, hepatitis C is a short-term illness, but for more than half of persons who become infected with HCV, it becomes a long-term, chronic infection.
                Like chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C is a serious disease that can result in cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. Persons might not be aware of their infection because they do not have symptoms.
                Since 2013, highly effective, well-tolerated curative treatments have been available for hepatitis C, but no vaccine for preventing hepatitis C is yet available.
                  The best way to prevent hepatitis C is by avoiding behaviors that can spread the disease, especially injecting drugs with non-sterile injection equipment.
                Hepatitis C in 2021
                Acute Hepatitis C
                          5,023
                          T here were 5,023 new cases of acute hepatitis C reported during 202 1
                          69,800
                          There were 69,800 estimated acute hepatitis C virus infections during 202 1
                Chronic Hepatitis C
                          107, 540
                          T here were 107, 540 cases of newly reported chronic hepatitis C during 202 1
                          39.8
                          There were 39.8 newly reported cases of chronic hepatitis C per 100,000 people
                Acute Hepatitis C in 2021
                The number of reported cases of acute hepatitis C has doubled since 201 4 (12 9 % increase), and during 202 1 increased 5% from 20 20 .
                There was a change to how public health defines a case of acute hepatitis C in 2020. This more sensitive and accurate definition helped capture cases that the less sensitive definition might have missed. This increase in cases detected due to the case definition change likely made up for any decreases that may have occurred due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
                In 2020, CDC published universal adult and pregnancy screening guidelines. It is important that health care professionals , public health officials, and organizations involved in the development, implementation, delivery, and evaluation of clinical and preventive services follow and use these recommendations.
