Did you know that approximately 30% of all people with HCV infection in the United States spend at least part of the year in a correctional institution? Don't miss this FREE webinar to learn more!

Free webinar: An Overview of Hepatitis C and Correctional Medicine on May 26.

Approximately 30% of all people with HCV infection in the United States spend at least part of the year in a correctional institution. Unfortunately, most of these individuals are unaware of their infection. Given the high prevalence of HCV infection in correctional settings coupled with the fact that more than 10 million people pass through jails and prisons each year, as many as 1 million people with undiagnosed HCV infection might come into contact with the correctional system each year. More than 90% of these individuals eventually reenter the community, where they can contribute to HCV spread and may have little contact with the health care system.

Learn how to effectively treat hepatitis C patients to prevent further spread of HCV infection or liver complications with serious outcomes after release.
