More than a third of boys (37.0%) and girls (36.4%) knew that in Poland about 700 thousand people are infected with HCV. A large group of young people (80.7%) knew that everyone is vulnerable to infection with HCV. Girls more often (76.4%) than boys (59.3%) correctly reported examples of situations which may lead to infection. More than half of the test (67.0%) knew that by doing a blood test for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies, you can verify that you are infected with HCV and 67.0% of respondents knew that there is no developed hepatitis b vaccine hepatitis C. Less than half of the test (44.0%) had knowledge of the possibility of cure people infected with HCV. Conclusions. Investigated young people had a high level of knowledge about the causes of hepatitis c. Should motivate school students to broaden knowledge about the prevention of infection with HCV, risk and sources of infection with HCV with particular attention to drug addicts, to beauty salons and hairdressing salons.
