Chronic Hepatitis C

Chronic hepatitis C is a long-lasting infection of the liver caused by a virus. Over time, it can quietly damage the liver, sometimes over years, before any symptoms appear.

Day to day, this can mean:

  • chronic fatigue, sometimes on its own,
  • regular liver monitoring,
  • treatments that are now very effective,
  • sometimes, the weight of how others react to the idea of "contagion."

With the new treatments, hepatitis C is cured in the vast majority of cases. The taboo around the illness lingers longer than the illness itself.

Chronic Hepatitis C: a situation that can affect energy, communication or mobility; needs vary from one person to another.

Chronic Hepatitis C explained to a Child

0–12 years old

What is chronic hepatitis C?

Imagine that the liver (the organ that cleans the body) has caught a nasty little virus. This virus stays for a long time, sometimes years, and can slowly damage it without you noticing right away.

What does it look like in everyday life?

  • The person often feels tired, as if they have less energy to play
  • They need to see the doctor regularly so the liver stays healthy
  • Today there are really effective medicines that cure almost everyone
  • Sometimes other people wrongly think it's contagious, but it's not easy to catch

The good news: with the new treatments, most people get completely better! The hardest part is often what other people think, not the illness itself.
