Ngabe ukusha kwesibindi kohlobo C kungasakazwa ngokuxhumana ngocansi?

I-Hepatitis C yisifo sesifo esithathelwanayo esibangelwa igciwane le-hepatitis C (HCV). Lesi sifo singadlulela komunye umuntu.

Njengokutheleleka okuningi, i-HCV ihlala egazini naseziketsheni zomzimba. Ungathola i-hepatitis C ngokuthintana ngqo negazi lomuntu onegciwane. Kungadluliselwa futhi ngokuthintana noketshezi lomzimba kubandakanya amathe noma isidoda somuntu onegciwane, kepha lokhu akuvamile.

Abaphenyi bathola ukuthi izehlakalo ezi-1 kwezingu-190,000 zokuxhumana ngokobulili obuhlukile zaholela ekudlulisweni kwe-HCV. Abahlanganyeli ocwaningweni babenobudlelwano bobulili obubodwa.

I-HCV kungenzeka isabalale ngokuxhumana kocansi uma:

• ube nabalingani abaningi ocansini
• ukubamba iqhaza ocansini olunolaka, okungahle kube nomphumela wesikhumba esaphukile noma ukopha
• ungasebenzisi ukuvikela imigoqo, njengamakhondomu noma amadamu amazinyo
• ungasebenzisi ukuvikela imigoqo kahle
• unesifo esithathelwana ngocansi noma i-HIV

Ngabe ungathola i-hepatitis C ocansini lomlomo?

Abukho ubufakazi bokuthi i-HCV ingasakazwa ngocansi lomlomo.Kodwa-ke, kusengenzeka uma igazi likhona kumuntu onikeza noma owamukela ucansi lomlomo.

Isibonelo, kungaba khona ingozi encane uma kukhona okulandelayo:

• igazi lokuya esikhathini
• izinsini ezophayo
• ukutheleleka komphimbo
• izilonda ezibandayo
• izilonda zomphimbo
• izinsumpa zangasese
• noma yikuphi okunye ukuphuka esikhumbeni ezindaweni ezithintekayo

Yize ukudluliswa kocansi kungavamile, i-HCV kungenzeka isabalale ngobulili bendunu kunokobulili bomlomo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi izicubu zomugqa ziyakwazi ukudabuka ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini.

Iyiphi enye indlela okusakazeka ngayo isifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C?

Ngokusho koMnyango Wezempilo kanye Nezinsizakalo Zomuntu wase-U.S, ukwabelana ngezinaliti kuyindlela ejwayelekile kakhulu yokuthi umuntu anqume isifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C.

Izindlela ezingejwayelekile ezibandakanya ukusebenzisa imikhiqizo yenhlanzeko yomuntu siqu evela kumuntu onegciwane, njenge:

• izinsingo
• amabhulashi amazinyo
• izigaxa zezipikili

Igciwane alikwazi ukudluliswa ngokuxhumana okungajwayelekile, njengokuhlanganyela inkomishi noma izitsha zokudla nomuntu onegciwane. Ukugona, ukubambana ngezandla, nokuqabula nakho ngeke kukusakaze. Awukwazi ukubamba igciwane kumuntu one-hepatitis C ethimula noma ekhwehlela kuwe.

Ukuncelisa ibele

Ukuncelisa ibele akulidluliseli leli gciwane enganeni, kodwa izingane ezizalwa ngabesifazane abatheleleke ngaleli gciwane maningi amathuba okuthi zibe naleli gciwane. Uma umama etheleleka nge-hepatitis C, kunethuba elilodwa kwabangu-25 lokuthi uzolidlulisela enganeni yakhe.

Uma ubaba enesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C, kodwa umama engenalo igciwane, ngeke alidlulisele enganeni. Kungenzeka ukuthi ubaba angadlulisela igciwane kunina, elingatheleleka enganeni.

Ukuthi ingane ilethwe ngesitho sangasese sowesifazane noma ngokudiliva ngokuhlinzwa akuthinti ingozi yokuthola igciwane.

Ubani osengozini yesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C?

Abantu abafake izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni basengozini enkulu.

Igciwane lesandulela ngculaza ne-hepatitis C kungaba yinto evamile. Noma ikuphi okuvela kubantu abasebenzisa imishanguzo ye-IV futhi abane-HIV nabo bane-hepatitis C. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi zombili lezi zimo zinezici ezifanayo zobungozi, kufaka phakathi ukwabelana ngezinaliti kanye nocansi olungaphephile.

Uma uthola ukumpontshelwa igazi, imikhiqizo yegazi, noma ukufakelwa isitho ngaphambi kukaJuni 1992, ungaba sengozini ye-HCV. Ngaphambi kwalesi sikhathi, ukuhlolwa kwegazi bekungazweli kangako ku-HCV, ngakho-ke kungenzeka ukuthi uthole igazi noma izicubu ezinegciwane. Labo abathola izinto ezijiyisayo ngaphambi kuka-1987 nabo basengozini.

Ungayinciphisa kanjani ingozi ye-hepatitis C

Umuthi wokuvikela umuthi wokuvikela i-HCV awukho njengamanje. Kodwa kunezindlela zokuvimbela ukutheleleka.

Izeluleko ezijwayelekile zokuvimbela

Gwema ukuzibandakanya ekusetshenzisweni kwezidakamizwa ze-IV futhi uqaphele ngezinqubo zonke ezibandakanya izinaliti.

Isibonelo, akufanele wabelane ngezinaliti ezisetshenziselwa ukudweba umzimba, ukubhoboza, noma ukutshopa. Okokusebenza kufanele njalo kwenziwe inzalo ngokucophelela ukuze iphephe. Uma ubhekana nanoma iyiphi yalezi zinqubo kwelinye izwe, qiniseka njalo ukuthi okokusebenza kubulala inzalo.

Imishini oyinyumba nayo kufanele isetshenziswe endaweni yezokwelapha noma yamazinyo.

Amathiphu okuvimbela ukudluliswa ngocansi

Uma uhlanganyela ocansini nomuntu onesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C, kunezindlela ongavimba ngazo ukuthola igciwane. Ngokunjalo, uma unegciwane, ungakugwema ukuthelela abanye.

Izinyathelo ezimbalwa ongazithatha ukunciphisa amathuba okudluliswa kocansi zifaka:

• ukusebenzisa ikhondomu phakathi nakho konke ukuxhumana kocansi, kufaka phakathi ucansi lomlomo
• ukufunda ukusebenzisa wonke amadivayisi wesithiyo ngendlela efanele ukuvimbela ukudabuka noma ukudabuka ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini
• ukumelana nokuhlanganyela ocansini lapho noma yimuphi umlingani esikekile noma enenxeba ezithweni zangasese
• ukuhlolelwa izifo zocansi kanye nokucela abalingani ocansini ukuthi nabo bahlolwe
• ukwenza inkosikazi eyodwa ngokocansi
• usebenzisa ezinye izindlela zokuzivikela uma une-HIV, njengoba ithuba lakho lokuthola i-HCV liphakeme kakhulu uma une-HIV

Uma une-hepatitis C, kufanele uthembeke kubo bonke ozakwethu bezocansi ngesimo sakho. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi nobabili nithatha izinyathelo ezifanele zokuvikela ukudluliswa.

Ukuhlolwa

Uma ucabanga ukuthi uvezwe ku-HCV, kubalulekile ukuthi uhlolwe. Ukuhlolwa kwamasosha omzimba kwe-hepatitis C, okwaziwa nangokuthi ukuhlolwa kwe-anti-HCV, kukala igazi lomuntu ukubona ukuthi wake walithola yini leli gciwane. Uma umuntu eke wangenwa yi-HCV, umzimba wakhe uzokwenza amasosha omzimba alwe naleli gciwane. Ukuhlolwa kwe-anti-HCV kubheka lawa magciwane.

Uma umuntu ethola ukuthi une-antibodies, odokotela bavame ukuncoma ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe ukubona ukuthi lowo muntu unesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C. Ukuhlolwa kubizwa ngokuthi yi-RNA noma i-PCR test.

Kufanele uvakashele udokotela wakho njalo ukuze ahlolwe i-STI uma uhlanganyela ocansini. Amanye amagciwane kanye nokutheleleka, kufaka phakathi i-hepatitis C, kungahle kungabangi izimpawu emasontweni ambalwa ngemuva kokuvezwa. Esikhathini esithatha ukuthi igciwane libonakalise, ungalisakaza kumlingani ocansini ngaphandle kokwazi.

Okubalulekile

Cishe abantu abayizigidi ezingama-3.2 e-United States bane-HCV. Inani elikhulu labo alazi ukuthi banalo, ngoba abanazo izimpawu. Ngalesi sikhathi, bangalidlulisela kubalingani babo. Futhi yize ukuxhumana ngokocansi kungeyona indlela evame kakhulu umuntu ukuthola i-hepatitis C, kungenzeka.

Kubalulekile ukuthi ucele abalingani bakho ocansini bahlolwe njalo futhi benze ucansi oluphephile ngokusebenzisa kahle ukuvikela, njengamakhondomu. Ukuhlola njalo nokwenza ucansi oluphephile kuzokusiza ugcine wena nabalingani bakho bezocansi niphephile futhi niphilile.
