Patient's question:
Do you know that hepatitis C virus loses its infectivity very quickly after complete drying? Is it the same for hepatitis C virus that the blood completely dries and also loses its infectivity very quickly?Doctor's answer:
After the hepatitis C virus returns to the human body, it loses its infectivity in the external environment very quickly. Normal skin contact with the hepatitis C virus will never cause transmission; simply clean it thoroughly. If the skin and mucous membranes are damaged, there is a higher risk of re-infection. Hepatitis C is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
