Hepatitis C in a nutshell
Discovered in 1989, it is a fact that the virus is transmitted mainly through the bloodstream, even if sexual transmission exists. Most often discovered by chance, hepatitis C virus infection is not discovered until late when the disease has become chronic. Only 20% of affected individuals recover before the disease becomes chronic, during the acute phase.
