"Hi, I'm Dr. Carol Clark. I'm a sex therapist and licensed mental health counselor here in Miami, Florida. In this clip, we're going to talk about what you need to know about hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a virus that attacks the liver, and it's become more and more prevalent as it's being passed through sexual activity and intravenous drug use. Hepatitis C is actually more deadly and more easily transmittable than HIV, and it's more deadly. It results in liver failure and preceding that, a person experiences fatigue, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, all number of flu-like symptoms. People can live for a while with hepatitis C, but it really impacts -- negatively impacts -- their life and quality of life. Hepatitis C is a sexually transmitted disease, and so it is preventable by using condoms and abstinence. Once again, this is Dr. Carol Clark from Miami, Florida."
