Hepatitis C (HCV) is a virus that can cause inflammation and serious liver damage. The Hep C virus is spread through blood and bodily fluids, and many people become infected through sharing needles and injection equipment. An estimated 2.4 million people in the United States are currently living with Hepatitis C. However, many are unaware, as the disease causes few symptoms.
