"This is Annalicia Howlett on behalf of Expert Village.com and I am going to tell you how to reduce your risks of infection from Hepatitis C. The easiest and only number one for sure way to prevent yourself from getting Hepatitis C is to abstain from any activities that might put you at risk. Such as unprotected sex, injection drug use, sharing needles and exposing you to other people’s blood. One of the easiest ways to reduce your risk sexually is by wearing a condom. Condoms are 99 percent accurate when consistently and correctly. You can see a local health care provider for a demonstration on how to put a condom safely and correctly. Another risk reduction factor for the prevention of Hepatitis C is injection drug use. Make sure you are using a clean syringe every time you inject. Do not share your syringes with anybody or your works which include your equipment, your spoons, your cookers, your contents and your rigs. It all needs to be separate and your own. "
