Answer:

By avoiding contact with the blood of others

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepatitis C can be contracted through contact with the blood of a person infected with the disease. For this reason, individuals in communities can prevent the global spread of hepatitis C by avoiding contact with other people's blood.

Hepatitis C is a viral disease that leads to inflammation of the liver and rarely arouses symptoms. In fact, most people are unaware that they have hepatitis C, often find out through a blood donation or through routine tests, or when symptoms of advanced liver disease appear, which usually happens decades later.

To prevent hepatitis C, you must follow the guidelines:

  • Do not use illicit drugs and do not share syringes
  • Be cautious with piercings and tattoos. Always look for a trusted local and professional. Ask questions beforehand about how clean the equipment is and make sure employees use sterile needles
  • Have your manicure supplies, or make sure it has been sterilized when using in salons
  • Protect yourself during intercourse. Always use condoms.
