You cannot tell whether someone has HIV or hepatitis C by looking at them. People can have these diseases but look healthy and they themselves might not even know that they are infected. A person must believe that anyone he or she associates with could have HIV or hepatitis C. This is difficult because no one ever thinks that anyone they know would have these diseases. Or, a person might think that they are safe because they live in a particular community or region of the country – they might think that there is no HIV or hepatitis C in their community therefore, they are not at risk.
