Viral Hepatitis

NASTAD, in partnership with the National Coalition to Liberate Methadone (NCLM) held the “Part 2: Part 2: Current Methadone Access: Where are we now?” webinar on September 24 . Methadone is an essential tool for saving lives during an overdose crisis and reducing the risk of HIV and hepatitis C transmission among people who inject drugs. NCLM advocates for a more accessible and equitable methadone system that prioritizes patient health, promotes dignity, and is grounded in evidence.

This toolkit is designed for new viral hepatitis health department staff to help them get oriented in their new role. It includes basic information, recommendations, key national partners, CDC funding opportunities, and where to go for help.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) underestimates the true prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the U.S. due to inadequate representation of certain populations. Two models were developed to provide more accurate estimates of HCV prevalence among U.S. adults from 2017 to 2020.

This webinar recording features updates on new hepatitis C prevalence estimates.

Almost 300 million people are living with hepatitis B, and they can live long lives if their hepatitis B is managed. This guide can help you understand important management steps.

This guideline discusses how DBS is a way of gathering a blood sample for hepatitis C testing. With DBS, the person being tested just needs to have a finger pricked, no locating veins or tubes of blood required. 

This webpage discusses hepatitis A and how it is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). The virus is primarily spread when an uninfected (and unvaccinated) person ingests food or water that is contaminated with the feces of an infected person. The disease is closely associated with unsafe water or food, inadequate sanitation, poor personal hygiene and oral-anal sex.
