[|AI|]  Hello, thanks for the query to Chat Doctor.  Frumpiest of all I want to explain to you that don't worry. Hepatitis C is often asymptomatic, and it is about in 90 % cases in India. If infection is persistent (10% cases) it can be treated with medication. Now note down that infection is asymptomatic but if it turns into chronic it may lead to scarring of liver and cirrhosis of liver, which leads to liver failure and liver cancer. The liver failure may develop esophageal or gastric varices, which are fatal for life. 10 % cases are symptomatic, and they have the following symptoms but in MILD forms as, Loss of appetite, Fatigue,Nausea, Muscles pain, Joints wainwright loss. In your case nothing to worry as I have seen so many cases who tested + ve few yrs ago but still they are asymptomatic. Spread due to blood transfusion (if equipment are not sterilized)Sexual relations (controversial) Tattooing (most common cause)Use of personal belongings (major of infected person)Good luck
