Today, the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University, in partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc., launched HepVu.org, an interactive online resource that offers a first-of-its-kind picture of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic across the country. HepVu, which is a Powered By AIDSVu project, presents the first standardized U.S. state-level estimates of Hepatitis C prevalence, generated by Emory University’s Coalition for Applied Modeling for Prevention (CAMP) through a project supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. HepVu strives to provide public health professionals, policymakers, and affected communities with a valuable resource to support viral hepatitis education, advocacy, and program planning.
