#hepatitis C testing

Millions of Americans are living with chronic viral hepatitis, and most of them do not know they have it.

The annual scientific meeting on liver health revealed exciting new findings concerning the battle against the hep C epidemic.

Thanks to a $1.375 million grant, testing for the viruses at one emergency department has already increased 5,000 percent.

In Houston, some pharmacies will also begin prescribing Truvada as PrEP on-site.
