Viral Hepatitis

World Hepatitis Day 2024 Launch Webinar

This webinar discusses how every year, 1.3 million people lose their lives to hepatitis – because they weren’t tested, or didn’t have access to treatment, or were never vaccinated. And new data from the World Health Organization shows the number of deaths is rising. 

Deeper Look: Hispanic/Latinx Communities and Hepatitis

This webpage discusses how viral hepatitis disproportionately impacts Hispanic/Latinx communities. In 2018, Hispanic/Latinx individuals were 1.4 times more likely to die from Hepatitis C than non-Hispanic whites, with significant barriers such as language, access to care, and high-risk behaviors contributing to these disparities. Despite the availability of effective treatments, Hispanic/Latinx patients face significant treatment gaps. Social determinants of health, such as lower insurance coverage and limited access to quality care, exacerbate these issues.

B Informed Session on Leveraging Social Media

This webinar session features speakers Anika Martin from Hep Free Hawaii and Monique Benvenutti from Hepatitis B Foundation, exploring best practices for social media engagement and sharing impactful strategies, demonstrating how one person can turn social media into a powerful team effort for creating awareness about hepatitis B.

Reporting Requirements for Negative HIV and Hepatitis C Test Results

The aim of this legal research is to compile enacted state laws and regulations regarding reporting requirements for negative HIV and Hepatitis C test results. The research includes all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and only covers enacted laws and regulations – excluding proposed bills, sub-regulatory guidance, and case law.  Reporting requirements for a specific jurisdiction may vary between health care providers and clinical laboratories. Data displayed within this map excludes provisions specific to prenatal/postnatal testing and exposed newborns – infants.
