A member asked:
If you have a low viral load for hep c can that number increase over time? do you need to take the same precautions as someone with a higher load?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you have...: ...detectable hepatitis C virus, regardless if the viral load is 100 IU/ml or 25 million IU/ml, you have active infection and are infectious. Please, PLEASE respect others and take appropriate precautions to avoid transmission. Also, get treated--there are amazingly good, all oral, options available today with phenomenal cure rates after only a few weeks of therapy.
