Could you be at risk? Millions of Americans have hepatitis C, but most do not know that they are infected with the virus. Many people can live with hepatitis C for decades without feeling sick, meanwhile the virus is causing liver damage and potentially spreading to other people.

If you have any risk factors or are around people with risk factors, you should be tested for hepatitis C. Routine screening leads to early detection. Early detection of the virus can save your life!

Share the love ❤️ Donate life!!

National Donor Day celebrates those who have signed up as official organ donors, while also shedding light on the large queue of patients awaiting crucial medical transplants.

DYK? Complications related to hepatitis C are a leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The human body cannot survive without an efficient liver. For many patients diagnosed with hepatitis C a liver transplant is critical for survival.

This February 14th, consider becoming an organ donor AND getting tested for hepatitis C. You could end up saving your own life as well as the lives of others.

National Condom Awareness Day is a day dedicated to highlighting the importance of safe and consensual s*x, promoting positive s*xual health, and celebrating healthy s*xual relationships.

DYK? Using condoms and l**e can help prevent blood-to-blood contact during a**l s*x, rough vaginal s*x, and while a woman is menstruating. When used properly, condoms are an effective means to preventing the s*xual transmission of hepatitis C.

Concerned you may have been exposed to hepatitis C? Getting tested is easy! Ask your healthcare provider about hepatitis C screening and treatment options.

Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NBHAAD), a day dedicated to raising awareness about the disproportionate impact of HIV on Black/African Americans, and the importance of increasing access to HIV prevention, testing, and treatment services.

Together, when we work to overcome structural barriers to HIV prevention, treatment, and care, we help reduce HIV-related disparities and health inequalities in Black/African American communities.

Sharing needles, syringes, and other equipment (works) to prepare and inject drugs puts people at high risk for getting and transmitting Hepatitis C and HIV.

Hep C and HIV can easily spread when a person comes into contact with drug injection equipment that is contaminated with infected blood, even in amounts too small to see.

People who inject drugs account for about 1 in 10 HIV diagnoses in the United States and approximately 80% of new Hep C cases are transmitted via injection drug use. Protect yourself and others by using new, clean works every time you inject.

Talk to your health care provider about routine screening for both Hep C and HIV.

Ringing in the New Year for many means setting goals we would like to accomplish in the year ahead. With many people setting goals in health and wellness, it is appropriate that January is National Staying Healthy Month. During this month, we want to draw awareness to the importance of evaluating your physical health and taking steps towards staying healthy.

Begin by looking at your physical health over the past few months. Has anything changed recently with your health? Do you have any new symptoms or areas of concern with your health? If the answer is yes to any of these, consider scheduling an appointment with your health care provider to discuss your concerns.

When meeting with your health care provider, ask to be screened for Hepatitis C. Liver health is vital to our overall health. Early detection of Hepatitis C could save your life!

It can take time for chronic hepatitis C to cause serious symptoms. But that doesn’t mean it is safe to delay treatment. Starting treatment early may lower your risk of developing complications from the illness, including liver scarring and liver damage. The longer you wait to begin treatment, the longer the virus has to cause potentially life threatening damage to your liver.

Thanks to recent breakthroughs in treatment, antiviral medications can cure more than 90 percent of cases of hepatitis C.

What are you waiting for? Talk to your health care provider about treatment options asap!
