How come when some one is exposed to hep c virus. they do not instantly become infected? and why do some people get infected?

Hepatitis C : Most people who are exposed to hepatitis C actually contract the disease and it becomes a chronic infection. A small proportion of people who contract HCV clear it on their own.
