What Does HCV Stand For?
HCV stands for Hepatitis C Virus
HCV, or Hepatitis C Virus, is a bloodborne pathogen responsible for causing Hepatitis C, a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It can lead to chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. HCV is transmitted through exposure to infected blood, and its management involves antiviral therapies that aim to achieve sustained virologic response, reducing the risk of liver-related complications.
