Hepatitis C
A diagnosis of hepatitis C can mean having to deal with a long term health problem for the first time and having to think about how it will affect your life. Being informed can help you to feel more in control and will help in developing strategies to deal with some of the issues which can arise, such as fear of transmitting the virus to others, disclosing to others, and discrimination.
The more you know the better able you are to make good decisions regarding your health and your lifestyle.
