What is Hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C or HCV is the most common blood borne viral infection in the US, caused by the Hepatitis C virus.  Most people who are infected with the Hepatitis C virus do not develop symptoms, however, it can lead to serious liver damage if left untreated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends screening for Hep C for the following:

• • • Persons born between 1945 and 1965
    • Former and Current drug infection users
    • HIV infected individuals
    • Previously received a blood transfusion or organ transplant
    • Individuals who were on long term hemodialysis
    • Individuals who received clotting factor concentrate produced before 1987
    • Children born to mothers with Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C Treatment 

Hepatitis C treatments have much improved in recent years. There are now several medications available to treat Chronic Hepatitis C. Current treatments usually involve just 8-12 weeks of oral therapy (pills) and cure over 90% of people with few side effects.

Our comprehensive Hepatitis C program offers medical evaluations, laboratory workups, and medical visits. We help with medical insurance, medication drop off, transportation and counseling on preventative services.
