What are the Causes of Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C virus or HCV causes hepatitis C. This is an RNA virus of Flaviviridae family. There are
many causes for hepatitis C.
Common causes include:
- Use of contaminated needles for tattooing and piercing could cause spread of infected blood.
- Use of drugs through needles used by others
- Infected mothers could pass on hepatitis C to their babies, although the incidence of such cases is
higher if the mother has both HIV and HCV. Infected mothers should avoid breastfeeding if they
have cracked nipples.
Sexual transmission of hepatitis C is possible, although rare. It can occur with heterosexual partners and
high-risk sexual practices.
Health care workers could be exposed to infected blood through needles due to lack of necessary
sanitation procedures.
Blood transfusions in major operations or organ transplantations could lead to hepatitis C infection if
transfused blood is not examined thoroughly in advance.
Sharing of personal care items like razors, scissors, toothbrushes, or similar items that could contain or
transmit blood could lead to hepatitis C.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese form of alternative treatment for many ailments. It involves use of very
sharp and thin needles at key pressure points to provide relief from ailments. However, use of
contaminated needles could cause hepatitis C infection.
How is Hepatitis C Spread?
Hepatitis C affects your liver and can develop into serious liver disease.
An infected person may not be aware of the disease until it reaches chronic stages. People infected with
HCV virus are carriers of the hepatitis C disease.
Exposure to such infected blood through accidents or use of contaminated equipment could cause spread
of the disease.
Hepatitis virus spreads only through blood-to-blood contact, such as:
Body Piercing and Tattoos
Tattooing, acupuncture, and piercing require insertion of needles. If there are no proper sterilization
techniques and you use the same needles used by others, it is possible for you to contract infected blood
from other HCV patients.
Drug Injections
If you inject drugs, you have a greater risk of contracting hepatitis C if you share needles and similar
injection equipment like cotton, spoons or anything that could carry contaminated HCV-blood. Similarly,
nasal intake of drugs may also be responsible for the spread of Hepatitis C. Straws used for nasal
inhalation could contain a few traces of mucus and blood that causes the spread of hepatitis C.
Dental exposure
Dental care requires the use of dental equipment like syringes, needles, jet air guns and other oral hygiene
instruments. Improper or inadequate sterilization could cause contaminated blood to spread from one
patient to another, spreading hepatitis C.
Occupational Exposure
Many occupations like doctors, healthcare personnel, military combat personnel and others could
accidentally contact blood from open wounds. When that blood is HCV-infected, it could cause the
spread of hepatitis C.
Sharing of Personal Care Items
Sharing personal care items like scissors, cuticle sharpeners, razors, toothbrushes or other equipment
could cause spread of hepatitis C. They often get spotted with blood during use. Sharing the equipment
without proper cleansing techniques is likely to spread hepatitis C.
Sexual Transmission
Hepatitis C rarely spreads through sexual relations. More importantly, it does not usually spread through
vaginal penetrative sex. Rather, spread of hepatitis C is more possible through the use of sex toys or anal
penetrative sex.
Organ Transplantation or Blood Transfusion
Blood transfusion, as required during organ transplantations, could cause injection of infected blood,
although such cases are on the decline.
HIV Patients
HIV-positive patients carry the HIV virus. If you are exposed to contaminated HCV-blood, you have a
higher risk of contracting serious liver damage due to the presence of the HIV-virus already in your blood.
However, unless blood is transferred between the people, hepatitis C does not spread through:
• the sharing of cooking utensils or food
• kissing
• hugging
• sharing a swimming pool
• working in the same place
• physical contact such as shaking hands
• coughing
• sneezing
• holding
• or even holding hands.
