Discovered in 1989 Previously known as Non-A / Non-B hepatitis

Blood-borne virus that causes inflammation of the liver Disease severity varies between mild short-lived illness to serious lifelong infection

HCV resides in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes Does not integrate into host DNA, unlike HIV Ability to achieve cure
