Description

HCV is currently considered the primary, if not the sole, causative agent of blood-borne non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH). Studies worldwide have shown that HCV is transmitted through contaminated blood and blood products, blood transfusion, or other close personal contact. The presence of anti-HCV antibodies in serum may indicate that a person has been infected with HCV and may be capable of transmitting the infection.
