Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Chronicity is the Hallmark of Hepatitis C.
It is good you are taking treatment. Monitor Viral Load.
There are no special precautions to be taken , as if Hepatitis C is there inside you , and is not completely removed by appropriate treatment , you will develop it again.
General Precautions to avoid contracting Hepatitis B or C are :
1.Avoid unprotected sexual intercourse.
2.Don't share needles.
3.Get injections only from a registered medical practitioner.
4.Get blood transfusions if ever required from a registered blood bank.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
