Hepatitis C screening

[Sosaria]

Recently there was an article in the papers concerning Hepatitis C, and the need to get screened for it, although it is lesser known and not so prevalent as the other two hepatitis types.

 

I have this autoimmune illness for some time already, which in some cases is linked to hep C, although the doctor at the hospital just recommend steroidal meds as and when needed to treat symptoms only - typical western med treatment - and tells me that autoimmune illnesses will come and go, and that's about all they can do. In fact, never even ask me to follow-up.

 

I thought I better check up the hep C link on my own, but noticed that normal health screenings do not check for hep C, so does anyone have a clue where to get just this particular check done inexpensively? Can it be done at private clinic / polyclinic? Recommendations?
