Thank you for posting your query.
HepC diagnosis.
you need NOT worry.
YOu Should visit a gastroenterologist/ hepatologist.
HepC can be cured completely now. There are drugs like sofosbuvir/ribavirin which may completely aid in curing the disease.
you maybe adviced a special diet ( fat free), abstinence from alcohol and smoking.
HepC is usually NOT transmitted sexually. However, your adviced to take a second opinion from hepatologist, if your planing a baby.
HCV is transmitted through contaminated blood, injection drugs (sharing of needles or works)
You may visit hepatologist and take your blood reports as soon as possible.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
