It is estimated that more than 2.4 million people in the United States are infected with hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C is a liver disease that results from infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Hepatitis C can be a short-term illness for some people, but 70%-85% of people infected with hepatitis C experience a long-term, chronic infection.
There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, but there are new medications that can cure the infection.
Hep C Free Allegheny envisions a county where new hepatitis C infections are rare and quickly identified, and people with hepatitis C are rapidly linked to care and treated, reducing hepatitis C related inequities.
This website provides information for Allegheny County residents on hepatitis C prevention, testing, and treatment.
