Explanation

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver. It causes inflammation and swelling, which damages the liver tissues over time. Hepatitis C is caused by a virus that spreads through contact with blood. Transmission occurs when the blood of an infected person enters the body of an uninfected person. Worldwide, transmission commonly occurs in medical settings with unsterilized equipment. An incubation period is the time between infection or contact with the agent and the onset of symptoms or signs of infection. The hepatitis C (HCV) window period is usually 4-20 weeks from the time of exposure. After 6 months, most people will have developed enough antibodies for an HCV test to detect. In rare cases, however, antibodies can take up to 9 months to develop.
