Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted of persons notified with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on the NSW North Coast during 1993 and 1994. The personal impact of infection was investigated using a self-administered questionnaire. Many cases were currently well, however nearly half reported fatigue and other adverse physical/mental/social outcomes were noted. Tobacco use by subjects was high. People with HCV infection require continued support via appropriate screening, referral and treatment services; access to information; and countering community discrimination, stereotyping and concern about HCV.Entities:
