In the UK, one of the most common ways that hep C is spread is through sharing equipment used to take drugs.
Some ways to reduce harm and protect your health:
🔎 Get tested regularly, sometimes hep C can go unnoticed, as the symptoms are not always obvious, so testing is the best option if you think there is any chance of having hep C.
✨ Use sterile equipment and avoid sharing equipment with others.
✅ Access clean supplies and safe disposal - please talk to us in our service for syringe exchange options and advice.
