CDC offers webcast on hepatitis C

Get up to speed on the latest testing and treatment modalities on the hepatitis C virus (HCV) by watching the archived webcast of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Public Health Grand Rounds: The 25th anniversary of the discovery of the hepatitis C virus: looking back to look forward.

With about 3 million adults infected with HCV, most of whom are baby boomers, the CDC continues to call attention to the virus and the need for prevention, testing, and linkage to care. Hepatitis C remains the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States. Up to 50% of HCV-infected persons are unaware of their infection.
