May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month

May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month. Early detection of hepatitis is known to positively impact the length and intensity of treatment. There is a cure for Hepatitis C and it begins with testing. A simple blood test can tell you if you have hepatitis.

Testing for Hepatitis C is recommended for many, including those who: Were born between 1945 – 1965; received donated blood or organs before 1992; have ever injected drugs ; have liver disease or abnormal liver tests; have certain conditions (liver disease, HIV, etc.)
