Accurate and quick detection of Hepatitis C to ensure timely treatment and management
STD Test is essential for detecting various infections, including those that affect liver health, like Hepatitis. Hepatitis is characterized by liver inflammation and can be caused by viruses such as Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is particularly concerning as it can lead to severe liver diseases if not treated promptly. The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) can be contracted through unprotected sex, using contaminated needles, or other blood-to-blood contact.
Additionally, testing for Hepatitis B is equally important, as this virus can also lead to serious liver complications, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis B is highly contagious and can be spread through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during birth. Early detection allows for better management and treatment, reducing the risk of long-term liver damage and improving overall health outcomes.
