Brief Answer:
Most cases are silent!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Most cases are silent and most people with hepatitis c do not know. In the initial stages, it is often mild abdominal pain, low grade fever, nausea, loss of appetite and body weakness. Past this initial stage, a rapid blood test is the bets way to tell whether you have Hepatitis C or wait until you develop complications.

If you are bothered by this, I will suggest that you do a rapid blood test. This may not take up to a day for you to have the results. If you are not vaccinated against hepatitis A and B, please consider doing so. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine against hepatitis C.

I wish you well and keep me updated!
