Support for people who may have been affected by infected blood

If you had a blood transfusion before 1996, there's a chance you may have been given infected blood. This could mean you were infected with hepatitis C.

Today, all blood donated in the UK is screened using very rigorous safety standards and testing to protect both donors and patients.

Since screening was introduced, the risk of getting an infection from a blood transfusion or blood products is very low.

If you had a blood transfusion before 1996 and you've not been tested for hepatitis C, contact your GP surgery to discuss any tests you may need.

You can also get a free home test for hepatitis C.
