Ask your healthcare provider about getting tested. If you have HIV, or you are at risk for it, get tested for Hep C as soon as possible. The sooner you know, the better your chances are for effective treatment. That means your liver has a better chance of staying strong…and you won’t be as likely to pass the virus to others accidentally.

Take the first step toward getting tested…speak with your healthcare providers.

What’s involved with the Hep C test?

Several blood tests are used in testing for Hep C. Some tests detect inflammation of your liver (a possible indication of Hep C), while other tests show if you were infected with Hep C in the past and what levels of the virus are in your body. There is also a test to determine if any damage has been done to your liver.  All tests are performed by medical professionals.

Where do I get tested for Hep C?

If you believe you are at risk for Hep C, you should ask your primary care physician to perform the appropriate Hep C test.
