Hepatitis C is a virus that can cause liver damage and inflammation. Many folks who have HCV do not know it. HCV is spread primarily through the sharing of injection equipment. The best way to avoid getting HCV is to use NEW unused cottons, cookers, rigs, wipes, and waters every time you use. Try to not share supplies. If you shoot meth, heroin, or other opioids, get tested regularly.
