LOCATION: Harbor Island Ballroom 2/3 LUNCHEON SYMPOSIUM: Addressing Hepatitis C: Leave No One Behind (lunch provided) Hepatitis C is a silent epidemic killing thousands of Americans every year. Approximately 3.5 million Americans live with chronic hepatitis C but only about half of them know it. People who inject drugs have some of the highest rates of infection in the country. Prevention and treatment are needed to reduce the impact of hepatitis C among substance users. The good news is chronic hepatitis C can be cured. Cure means the virus is not detected in the blood when measured 3 months after treatment is completed. A simple blood test is the first step to take action. Join us for a discussion on raising the alarm around this silent epidemic among substance users. Event sponsored by Gilead Sciences, Inc.
