Correct answer: B

Hepatitis C poses a 3% per-exposure transmission risk — higher than HIV. The critical challenge is the absence of PEP or vaccine. However, early identification and treatment of acute HCV infection (within the first 6 months) can prevent progression to chronic carrier state. This makes follow-up testing essential. The consequences of untreated chronic HCV are severe: 75% become chronic carriers, and 20% of those develop cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, or liver failure. The prevalence of undiagnosed HCV in the general population is estimated at 4 per 1000.
