WHAT NOT TO SHARE CAMPAIGN
It is believed that 500,000 people in the UK have hepatitis C. Thats about ten times as many people living with HIV.
Hep C can be passed by piercing, tattoos, transfusion, injection, razors, sharing toothbrushes, dental work and unfortunately for many clubbers, rock n rollers and music fans, by sharing notes.
Whether its coke, speed, ketamine or smack, these powders or something they are cut with, can corrode the inside of the nose and cause a nose-bleed. Sharing notes or straws with someone elses blood on it carries serious risk.
You dont even need to see blood on a note for the virus to be transmitted, and it can live in dried blood for up to 3 months.
Hep C is a highly destructive disease. It attacks the liver and can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. Day to day symptoms vary from general fatigue, to flu-like feelings through to digestive issues, joint pains, mood swings and depression.
Hep C can remain undetected for 20 years without showing symptoms but it can still be causing liver damage.
The best current treatment available is effective in 50% of cases but lifestyle choices can slow down the progression of the disease.
The WhatNotToShare campaign is raising awareness of hep C, encouraging testing and helping people to stay safe.
