May Is Hepatitis Awareness Month

In honor of May being Hepatitis Awareness Month, the CDC is leading a national campaign called Know More Hepatitis. The agency encourages anyone born between 1945 and 1965 to get tested for Hepatitis C.

According to the CDC, more than 4 million Americans are living with chronic Hepatitis B or C, but most do not know they are infected. Chronic viral hepatitis can lead to serious liver problems, including liver cancer. Each year, about 15,000 Americans die from liver cancer or chronic liver disease associated with viral hepatitis.
