Are You at Risk for Sexually Transmitted Hepatitis C?

By Alan Ripka

Those who contracted Hepatitis C at Northern Westchester Hospital between October 8, 2007 and February 28, 2008 may have sexually transmitted this virus through intimate relations to spouses, lovers, and acquaintances. Unbeknownst to the individuals who contracted Hepatitis C at Westchester Hospital, they were spreading the virus through sexual contact despite them believing they were healthy. Those who have contracted Hepatitis C in this manner will have a claim against Northern Westchester Hospital, according to Alan Ripka, Esquire. "The people who contracted Hepatitus C had no way of knowing they were at risk, and could not inform their sexual partners," states Alan Ripka. Those that know or believe that they have had physical contact with someone exposed to Hepatitis C should be tested immediately.
