Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). It spreads mainly through blood-to-blood contact, such as sharing needles or blood transfusions before 1992, and less commonly through unprotected sex. Known as the “silent epidemic,” many people have no symptoms for years while the virus quietly damages the liver. About 75–85% develop chronic infection, which can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, or cancer. Early testing is vital because most cases are curable when detected early.

Our Hepatitis C At-Home Test Kit detects HCV antibodies using a finger-prick blood sample. It’s over 98% accurate and delivers results in 15 minutes at home. The kit is ISO 13485 and CE certified, easy to use, and shipped discreetly for privacy.

Symptoms & Complications

Asymptomatic: Most people show no symptoms during acute or chronic infection, often carrying HCV for 10–20 years unknowingly.

Mild: Some may experience flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, fever, nausea, and mild abdominal discomfort shortly after infection.

Severe: Long-term infection can cause cirrhosis and liver failure with symptoms like fatigue, swelling, jaundice, and confusion. Chronic HCV increases liver cancer risk.

Untreated Risks

Untreated HCV can silently progress to serious liver disease. About 1 in 5 develop cirrhosis over decades, with increased risk of liver cancer and liver failure. HCV can worsen liver damage from alcohol. The good news: over 95% of cases are curable with modern antivirals if caught early.

Early & Repeat Testing Recommended

Window Period: HCV antibodies are usually detectable 8–12 weeks post-exposure. Retest at 3 and 6 months if early tests are negative but exposure was significant.

Partner & Household Testing: HCV spreads less via sex but can transmit through shared personal items or injection equipment. Partners and close contacts should be tested once for peace of mind.

How It Works

Collect Sample: Clean your fingertip, prick with the lancet, and collect blood using the dropper up to the fill line.

Apply & Wait: Add the blood and buffer solution to the test cassette, place on a flat surface, and wait 15 minutes.

Read Results: Two lines = positive (HCV antibodies detected); one control line = negative; no control line = invalid (repeat test).
