The Silent Epidemic: Addressing Hepatitis C in the USA
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Public Health
Abstract
Hepatitis C, a blood-borne viral infection, is a significant public health concern in the USA (Zein, 2019). It's a silent epidemic, often asymptomatic in its early stages, but can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and even death if left untreated (Lauer & Walker, 2020). Despite its prevalence, Hepatitis C remains a neglected disease, with many individuals unaware of their infection status or lacking access to effective treatment (Denniston et al., 2014).
