Tags: July 28 is World Hepatitis Day
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, usually caused by viral infection. There are 5 main strains of the hepatitis virus. These are referred to as type A, B, C, D, and E.
Globally, there are millions of people living with hepatitis who go undiagnosed and untreated. Most symptoms only appear once the disease is advanced, with most people discovering they have hepatitis B or C only when they develop serious liver disease or cancer.
These infections and deaths can be prevented by providing access to education, testing, and treatment.
Here at Face to Face, we provide free Hepatitis C testing to Sonoma County residents. This testing is confidential, anonymous, and available in both Spanish and English.
The first step towards saving lives is kindness and connection. Connect with us Face to Face at 873 Second Street, Santa Rosa. We’re open Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
