In fact, 100,000 people in the UK is not aware that they are exposed to hepatitis C. Some of the facts of the hepatitis C disease in the UK shows:
~ Nearly one out of four people do not know that hepatitis C can be transmitted through syringe sharing
~ One of the eight thought that hepatitis C can be transmitted through a kiss. (The risk is very small)
~ One of the six think that most consume food and water contamination can be contagious virus (But not so for hepatitis C)
~ One third of respondents believe there is a vaccine for hepatitis C (Fact: Up to kin have not yet a vaccine for hepatitis C)
This is the picture in the UK, and of course in the levels of the health of communities is still low, have a more or less.
