We celebrate World Hepatitis Day! Hepatitis C is a blood-borne virus that often causes no symptoms, meaning many people may be unaware they are infected until significant liver damage has occurred.
Hepatitis C is now curable! In a vast majority of cases with a short course of treatment, making early diagnosis essential.
NHS England offers a free, confidential home testing service for anyone aged 18 or over living in England.
Patients can order a simple finger-prick test kit online, complete the test at home and receive support if further assessment or treatment is required.
