Hepatitis C care for the environment
A - SEX LIFE
The sexual transmission is very low, unless specific risk
factors are:
1) traumatic report
2) reports during the menstrual period,
3) pre-existing genital lesions
4) sexually transmissible diseases.
Tips:
1) to prevent the patient from the very low risk
2) for a stable couple should be advised sexual abstention
or condom use during the menstrual period or in case of genital lesion,
3) the condom is not necessary out of these cases,
4) find a partner HCV serology,
5) In case of multiple partners, condom is required.
B - ENTOURAGE FAMILY
Transmission occurs primarily through blood, avoid contact
with blood, especially fresh blood (cut, nosebleed, etc ...).
Do not share personal grooming items (razors, toothbrushes,
nail clippers, scissors).
If wound after disinfection, immediately a small bandage.
Objects plate must not contain prohibited particular.
Saliva is not contaminating the kiss does not pose a risk.
HCV serology may be made in children may have been infected
at birth.
C - SOCIAL LIFE
Social life presents no risks.
We must not isolate contaminated with HCV, the nursery and
the school sick should not be a problem.
Sports are allowed, but if the wound disinfection and
immediate dressing is required.
D - PARENT CHILD TRANSMISSION
In the absence of detectable HCV RNA in the mother, the risk
of transmission to the child is practically nil.
Pregnancy is not cons-indicated in women with HIV and HCV
even when viral replication.
The risk of transmission, even if significant viral load remains
low.
Childbirth can be done by natural means.
Breastfeeding is not recommended.
In the new-born to mothers with HIV HCV, an RNA virus
detection of hepatitis C will be performed at 6 months and 1 year.
The anti-HCV research can be done after the age of one year.
E - SICK FOR ITSELF
There is no special diet.
In case of obesity, a reduced calorie diet will be
prescribed as treatment with interferon is more effective if the patient has a
normal weight.
The prohibition of liquor is absolute (alcohol increases
viral replication and has an additive effect on the risk of cirrhosis).
Vaccination against HEPATITIS B is recommended.
No constraint is imposed on the patient in terms of his work
