What happens if I test positive?
If your test shows you have hepatitis C, we’ll walk you through every step. You’ll be connected with a provider who specializes in treatment, and we’ll create a personalized care plan that may include one of several daily oral medications that can cure the infection.
What is hepatitis C, and why should I get tested?
Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by a virus that spreads through blood-to-blood contact. Many people don’t know they have it until liver damage occurs. A simple blood test can tell you if you’re infected—and treatment today is fast, safe, and more effective than ever. The virus can be gone within eight to 12 weeks.
Who should get tested for hepatitis C?
The CDC recommends that all adults get tested at least once, and more often for those with risk factors like past injection drug use, living with HIV, or having received blood products before 1992. If you’re unsure, we can help assess your risk and make testing easy.
How much does testing cost?
Screening for hepatitis C at DAP Health is free.
