Hepatitus C is normally not a life threatening virus and can be treated with many normal methods of curing viral infections. 
 These include rest and a combination of antiviral medicines.

Since Hepatitus C is a virus that does affect the liver, it is quite possible for the disease to have ravaging affects on the body but this 
happens in only a few rare cases.
In these cases, a liver transplant may be necessary.  

Currently, there is no vaccination to protect against the Hepatitus C virus.  

A few tips for stopping the spread of the virus are to:

• Stop drinking alcohol due to its ability to help the disease spread quicker.
• Avoid medications that have a harmful impact on the liver.
• Prevent yourself from coming into contact with foreign blood.
• Having protected sex
• Not sharing needles.
