How do I know if I have Hepatitis C?

The only way to know if you have hepatitis C is to get tested.

Approximately 70 to 80 percent of people with acute Hepatitis C do not have any symptoms.  If symptoms occur, the average time frame is 6 to 7 weeks after exposure.

Symptoms may include:

• Fever
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Abdominal pain
• Dark urine
• Clay-colored bowel movements
• Joint pain
• Jaundice (yellow color in the skin or eyes)
