Hello everyone , I am doing research on my final project for class I will be doing contagious diseases ,isolation and prevention. I am going to do this on the HCV virus better known as the Hep- C. This is a very deadly disease and it can be contracted easily and many people do not even know that they have it. A good example of this is 9/11 when blood was needed for transfusion's many of the donor's had to be notified that they had the virus and as I said they did not know they had it. I fill it is important to let everyone I can know the danger this carries and the deadly out comes.

  1. I have a family member that has hepititis. Not sure what "variety" of it though. I know it can be a dangerous disease. But I wonder what exactly it does to the body? I'm still in the dark on that one. Good luck in your research.

  2. Amanda,I do not know what they have ether but the type I have is hep-C it attacks the liver and causes a many number of problems even death.A person can have it for a very long time and not show any symptoms at all.How ever it has caused me cirrhosis of the liver ,for now I am fine but someday I may need a transplant.
