Asnah had a blood transfusion in the 1980s. It was only recently, while having a minor operation, that doctors discovered she had hepatitis C.

Like Asnah, a person can be infected with hepatitis C for more than 30 years without experiencing any symptoms. Left untreated, hepatitis C can cause liver cirrhosis and cancer.

Today in Malaysia, blood transfusions are 100% screened to make sure they are safe.

But anyone who had a blood transfusion before 1990 or who have ever injected drugs should get tested.
Luckily, Asnah discovered she had hepatitis C before her liver was damaged. She is now taking the new medicines. More than 95% of people who take the treatment are cured.
#HepatitisC can be cured! Get tested today.
