Health Notice
CDC says all baby boomers should be tested for Hepatitis C.

About 3 million adults in the US are infected with the hepatitis C virus, and most of them are baby boomers born between 1945-1965.

Because it often causes few symptoms, so the vast majority of people with hepatitis C don't know they have it. Could You Have Hepatitis C and not know?

How is Hepatitis C spread?
Hepatitis C is spread when blood from a person
infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of
someone who is not infected. This can happen through
different ways including:
Injection drug use. Most people become
infected with Hepatitis C by sharing needles or
other equipment to inject drugs. It is possible to
have gotten Hepatitis C from injecting drugs,
even if it was just once or many years ago.
Blood transfusions and organ transplants.
Before widespread screening of the blood supply
began in 1992, Hepatitis C was spread through
blood transfusions and organ transplants.
Outbreaks. While uncommon, poor infection
control has resulted in outbreaks in health care
facilities and residential care facilities.
While rare, spreading Hepatitis C through sex is
possible. Having a sexually transmitted disease (STD)
or HIV, sex with multiple partners, or rough sex
appears to increase a persons risk for Hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C can also be spread when getting tattoos
and body piercings in informal settings or with
non-sterile instruments.
