Hepatitis C Signs & Symptoms,
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
If you do develop symptoms from acute infection, the average time from exposure to symptoms ranges from 1 to 12 weeks after becoming infected, while others will experience them 6 months later. In some cases, people can live with hep C for years, and that could be lifetime, before they experience any symptoms at all… Even without symptoms, a person with hep C can still spread the virus to others.
If you’re at risk for hep C (HCV), and have experienced any of the symptoms listed below, speak with your healthcare professional and ask if you should be tested. Or see one of our Health Network Collective Testers.
- Lethargy, fatigue, feeling tired
- Loss of appetitie
- Stomach pain(s)
- Nausea
- Joint pain
- Dark urine
- Pale poo or pale bowel movements
- Jaundice, yellow whites of the eyes and sometime skin.
- And any history of at risk activities, see Am I at Risk
