Event Details

Millions of Americans have chronic hepatitis; most of them do not know they are infected.

This new national Hepatitis Testing Day in the United States is part of an educational initiative related to CDC's Know More Hepatitis campaign and the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Combating the Silent Epidemic of Viral Hepatitis: Action Plan for the Prevention, Care & Treatment of Viral Hepatitis.

The CDC’s first ever National Hepatitis Testing Day will be on May 19, 2012 and the CDC will provide educational materials to support testing activities in your community.
