1) Hepatitis C is a serious virus similar to HIV that can hide in the body for decades without symptoms and isn't part of routine bloodwork. 2) The CDC recommends all Baby Boomers (those born between 1945-1965) get tested for Hepatitis C as around 1 in 30 have the virus without knowing. 3) A simple blood test can identify Hepatitis C, which if left untreated can cause liver damage and cancer, but treatment is available that can cure it.

1) Around 1 in 30 baby boomers (those born between 1945-1965) have hepatitis C, and most do not know they have been infected.
2) Hepatitis C can hide in the body for many years without symptoms and is not included in routine bloodwork, allowing it to potentially cause liver damage or liver cancer if left untreated.
3) The CDC recommends all baby boomers get tested for hepatitis C with a simple blood test, as testing is the only way to know for sure if someone is infected, and if detected, hepatitis C can now be cured with treatment.World Hepatitis Day_Newspaper Ad

This document discusses hepatitis C (Hep C), a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Some key points:
- Hep C is a global epidemic affecting up to 150 million people worldwide and 3.5 million in the U.S. However, many cases go undetected as symptoms may not appear for years.
- If left untreated, Hep C can lead to liver damage and potentially liver cancer.
- For those in the U.S., Hep C is the leading cause of liver cancer and liver transplants. Baby boomers are 5 times more likely to have chronic Hep C than other adults. Up to 75% of people with Hep C are unaware of the damage to their livers.

Hep C Connection is partnering with 9Health Fair to provide hepatitis C antibody screening at several sites in spring 2015. They will assist with education and testing sign-up. Anyone born between 1945-1965 should get a one-time hepatitis C screening, as baby boomers account for most chronic cases in the US. Most people infected have no symptoms, so testing is important even with just one risk factor like past injection drug use. A positive antibody test requires a follow up viral load test to confirm infection status.Hepatitis B

This document provides information about hepatitis B. It discusses how hepatitis B attacks the liver, can cause liver damage or cancer, and can be fatal. The virus is spread through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids, especially through sex without protection, sharing needles, or from an infected mother to her baby during birth. Babies born to infected mothers have a high risk of becoming carriers for life if they do not receive the hepatitis B vaccine and HBIG shot. However, getting the full vaccine series provides 95% protection against the virus. Testing and vaccination is also recommended for partners of infected individuals to prevent spread. While hepatitis B can pose health risks, it can be prevented through vaccination.Harvoni

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver and can cause liver damage. Common symptoms include fatigue, pain, itchy skin, and jaundice. Testing is recommended for those with risk factors like IV drug use or born between 1945-1965. A new treatment called Harvoni involves taking one pill per day for 12 weeks and has been shown to cure Hepatitis C in many patients by eliminating the virus from the blood. Harvoni provides an effective treatment option for various genotypes of Hepatitis C.BASIC FACTS ON HIV-AIDS

This document provides information about HIV and AIDS. It defines HIV as a virus that attacks the human immune system and explains that AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection. It notes that HIV is found in certain body fluids and can be transmitted sexually or through contact with infected blood or from mother to child. The document discusses prevention methods like condom use and treatment of HIV/AIDS while also stating that currently there is no cure. It aims to educate about HIV transmission and reduce stigma by clarifying that ordinary day-to-day contact cannot spread the virus.What.I.Need.To.Know.About.Hepatitis.C---420ebooks

Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus, which is spread through contact with infected blood. Many people infected with hepatitis C do not experience symptoms, though some may feel tired or nauseous. The disease is tested for through a blood test and sometimes a liver biopsy. While there is no vaccine, hepatitis C can often be treated successfully with medications. Protecting oneself involves not sharing drug needles or personal items that may have come in contact with blood.Health and Fitness

Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus that can become chronic, lasting over six months, and increasing the risk of liver failure, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. The virus is spread through contact with infected blood and there are varying types of hepatitis, but hepatitis B and C are the most common that affect millions worldwide. Proper diagnosis and treatment is needed to address the virus and reduce the health risks.Legal Advice Medical

The document discusses hepatitis C, including what it is, how it is transmitted, testing and treatment options. It notes that hepatitis C is caused by a virus and is transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, often from sharing drug injection equipment. Testing can determine if one has been exposed through antibody tests or detect current infection. While some may clear the infection, others may develop liver damage or other complications over many years without treatment. Treatment options including interferon are discussed, as well as lifestyle changes to prevent further liver damage.Hiv aids

- HIV/AIDS is a serious, deadly disease that has infected over 70 million people globally since being identified in the 1980s. Currently, there are over 34 million people living with HIV worldwide.
- HIV weakens the immune system by destroying important immune cells called CD4 cells. If untreated, HIV can develop into AIDS, leaving the body vulnerable to infections and diseases. While antiretroviral drugs can suppress HIV and prolong life, there is currently no cure for HIV/AIDS.
- HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Common routes of transmission include unprotected sex and sharing needles. Casual contact like hugging, kissing, or mosquito bitesHepatitis b and you

Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks the liver. It can be passed through contact with blood or bodily fluids and can cause liver damage or cancer. Babies born to mothers with hepatitis B are at high risk of becoming carriers unless they receive shots at birth and later. The shots help babies develop antibodies to fight the virus and prevent chronic infection in up to 95% of cases. Sex partners and household members of infected individuals should also be tested and vaccinated if necessary. Hepatitis B can largely be prevented through vaccination.Sexually Transmitted Disease

Hepatitis B can be transmitted through blood, body fluids, unsafe medical injections, and sexual contact with an infected person. While it is more contagious than HIV, people with Hepatitis B can still socialize with others as long as behaviors like kissing are avoided.
