Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our services

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation and can lead to serious liver damage if left untreated. The good news is that Hepatitis C is curable with modern antiviral medications, with cure rates exceeding 95%. Our team can help you access testing and treatment at no cost.

Hepatitis C is primarily spread through contact with the blood of an infected person. The most common ways that hepatitis C is transmitted include:

  • Sharing needles or other equipment used to inject drugs (the most common mode of transmission)
  • Unprotected sex with an infected person (less common, but possible)
  • Transmission from an infected mother to her baby during birth
  • Accidental needle sticks or blood exposure in healthcare settings
  • Sharing personal items such as razors or toothbrushes that may have blood on them
  • Tattoos or piercings performed with unsterilized needles or equipment
  • Occupational exposure to blood, including healthcare workers

Hepatitis C is not spread through casual contact such as hugging, sharing food or drinks, or using the same restrooms.

Testing and early medical treatment are essential to prevent the virus from progressing to chronic infection and long-term liver damage.

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a medication taken daily that can help prevent the contraction of HIV. It works by blocking the virus from entering and infecting cells in the body. When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at preventing HIV.

While missing doses of PrEP can decrease its effectiveness in preventing HIV infection, it still has some level of protection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that even if someone misses several doses, the medication still provides some level of protection against HIV.

It’s important to note that if you miss doses of PrEP or stop taking it altogether, your risk of contracting HIV increases. For maximum protection, it’s recommended to take PrEP consistently and as prescribed. To ensure that you continue to receive the protection you need, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider about strategies to help you stay on track with your PrEP regimen. At LifeLine Health, we can help.

It’s also worth to note that taking PrEP alone may not protect against other sexually transmitted infections and other protective measures such as regular testing, barrier methods, and practicing safer sex should be used in conjunction with PrEP.

There are several effective ways to prevent the contraction and spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs):

  • Abstinence: Avoiding sexual contact altogether is the most effective way to prevent STDs.
  • Condom Use: Consistent and correct condom use during sexual activity significantly reduces the risk of transmission.
  • Regular Testing: Routine STD testing and open communication with partner(s) help ensure early detection and treatment.
  • Vaccinations: Vaccines for certain infections, such as HPV and Hepatitis B, can help prevent transmission.
  • Limiting Sexual Partners: Reducing the number of sexual partners lowers overall risk.
  • PrEP: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a daily medication that helps prevent HIV infection.
  • PEP: Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) can be taken after potential exposure to HIV to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Treatment: If diagnosed with an STD, seeking prompt treatment helps protect your health and prevent further spread.

STDs can lead to serious long-term health complications if left untreated. Taking proactive steps to protect yourself and your partners is essential.
