Viral hepatitis is the leading cause of liver cancer and the most common reason for liver transplantation. An estimated 4.4 million Americans are living with chronic hepatitis; most do not know they are infected.
To raise awareness for the virus and to increase the number of people who know if they are infected (and, of course, get treatment), the CDC has launched a new online survey to identify potential risks for viral hepatitis infection. Take the survey online today at:
