    The hepatitis C virus or HCV can spread through use of
    infected needles. This is more common in the drug users who share the syringe. Usually,
    the HCV can live up to 16 hours at room temperature outside the body. It can
    not live for more than four days outside the host. For more details, visit HCV.
