Prevention

Unfortunately, unlike hepatitis B, there are no vaccines available or under trial for hepatitis C virus infection.

The best possible way to keep yourself safe is to follow these daily life instructions:

• • Following safe sex habits, i.e., avoiding anal sex and using condoms
  • Avoid sharing personal hygiene items such as razors, blades, etc.
  • Ensure clean materials when visiting the barber or for tattooing
  • Abstaining from sharing needles for injections
