Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus that can damage your liver. Most cases of hepatitis C in the UK involve people who have injected drugs, including anabolic steroids. We offer blood-borne virus testing to everyone who uses our service. We can refer you to treatment, too.
Charlotte from The Hepatitis C Trust and Kevin from Cambridge University Hospitals brought their hepatitis C testing bus to our hubs. Throughout the week, they came to Thetford, Great Yarmouth and King’s Lynn to offer rapid testing to everyone.
Hepatitis C is now easily treatable with a course of tablets, with fewer side effects than previous treatments. Taking a test could potentially save your life. We’re proud to do our bit to help Public Health England reach its goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2025.
If you want to get tested for hepatitis or any other blood-borne viruses, speak to your recovery coordinator about booking a test.
