Hi, I’m Annalicia Howlett on behalf of Expert Village.com and I am going to tell you who
should get a Hepatitis C test. Experts agree that it is important to be tested if you have
ever been exposed to Hepatitis C virus with a blood transfusion prior to 1992, a contaminated
needle or other possible exposures to blood or bodily fluids. Some experts suggest testing
if you have had multiple sex partners in your life time or if you have any sexually transmitted
diseases. If you are uncertain about your possible exposure or not sure you how you
might benefit from testing, we recommend you call the Health Care Counselor at 1-800-867-5655
or visit the homeaccess.com website and/or contact your physician. If you are a sex worker,
you should be tested. You should be tested for Hepatitis C if you are an injection drug
user, if you are injecting testosterone into your body or any other time or place when
you might be exposed to the blood of another person, if you are having lots of rough sex
or having promiscuous sex or if you hang out in areas where there is injection drug use
happening.
