Hepatitis C and birth control?

Me and my girlfriend want to have her on birth controll. However after a little bit of reading, i read that if she has hepatitis c than it may not be best that she take birth control.





Is this true?





Because we were thinking of taking the depo shot.Hepatitis C and birth control?
Most adults who become infected with hepatitis B will clear the infection by themselves and require no ongoing treatment. Only a few (about five per cent) will develop long-term hepatitis B and require longer term treatment. These treatments can clear the virus and reduce liver damage. Current treatments available include interferons and antiviral medications. Some treatments are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS).





If you have long-term hepatitis B, you should consult with your doctor who will monitor your condition and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist. It is also a good idea to limit how much alcohol you drink and eat a well-balanced, low fat diet.





If you have hepatitis B, you should:





* Avoid sharing injecting equipment or personal items such as toothbrushes or razors.


* Ensure your partner and close contacts are immunised against hepatitis B.


* Completely cover any cut or wound with a waterproof dressing.


* Practice safe sex.


* Consider discussing your condition with your health care provider when undergoing any medical or dental procedure, although there is no legal obligation to do so.





if you dont want the virus then get the vaccine as soon as possible to lower the risk of getting infected. also always practice safe sex
