What are Sexually transmitted infections? STIs are infections that are passed from person to person during sexual contact (vaginal, anal and oral). Examples include: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, human papilloma virus, herpes, and HIV. HIV can also be passed by sharing injection drug equipment (needles, syringes, works), and from mother to baby during pregnancy.
Untreated STIs can cause cancer, blindness, infertility (you cannot become pregnant), birth defects if you are pregnant, and even death.
Am I at risk for getting Hepatitis C (HCV)?
Additional Information
- Exposure to infected blood is the primary mode of HCV transmission, primarily from sharing needles and other contaminated drug injection equipment. If any of these high risk activities pertain to you, please call us to schedule a test.
Risk Activities
- Injection drug use (current or ever, including those who injected only once)
- Intranasal illicit drug use
- Use of glass crack pipes
- Male engagement in sex with men
- Engagement in chem sex (defined as the intentional combining of sex with the use of particular nonprescription drugs in order to facilitate or enhance the sexual encounter)
HCV is not spread by sneezing, hugging, holding hands, coughing, or sharing eating utensils or drinking glasses, nor is it transmitted through food or water.
Risk Exposures
- Persons on long-term hemodialysis (ever)
- Persons with percutaneous/parenteral exposures in an unregulated setting
- Healthcare, emergency medical, and public safety workers after needlestick, sharps, or mucosal exposure to HCV-infected blood
- Children born to HCV-infected women
- Recipients of a prior transfusion or organ transplant, including persons who:
- Were notified that they received blood from a donor who later tested positive for HCV
- Received a transfusion of blood or blood components, or underwent an organ transplant before July 1992
- Received clotting factor concentrates produced before 1987
- Persons who were ever incarcerated
Other Conditions and Circumstances
- HIV or HBV infection
- Sexually active persons about to start pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV
- Chronic liver disease and/or chronic hepatitis, including unexplained elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels
- Solid organ donors (living and deceased) and solid organ transplant recipients
