Why You Should Get Tested for Hepatitis – And Where You Can Do It for Free!
Hepatitis is a silent but serious health threat. Often, people living with hepatitis B or C don’t know they have it until it causes major damage to their liver. That’s why getting tested is so important — it can literally save your life.
Hepatitis can be spread through blood, unprotected sex, or from mother to child during birth. Left untreated, it can lead to liver disease, cancer, or even death. The good news? Early detection can lead to effective treatment and a healthier future.
Testing is quick, easy, and in many places — completely free.
