Millions of people are living with Hepatitis C—many don’t even know it.
At CCC, we make Hepatitis C (Hep C) testing and treatment simple, confidential, and accessible. Our Hepatitis C Elimination Program (also known as the Hep C Team) provides low-barrier, trauma-informed care with a focus on harm reduction. We offer free or low-cost testing and treatment to most patients, ensuring you get the care you deserve.
Recognized internationally as a leader in Hep C care, our program is one of the top three in North America, according to the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU). On the local level, our outreach teams collaborate with organizations such as CODA, Allied CTC, and FORA Health to provide testing in the community.
Our program’s trauma-informed approach meets you where you’re at. By using the Dried Blood Spot (DBS) test-and-treat model, we offer hepatitis testing in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings. We can avoid traditional blood draws with a finger poke and blood sample collection cards we send to the lab for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and Syphilis testing.
If you have Hep C, you’ve come to the right place! Treatment is accessible, easy, and convenient, with expert support every step of the way. Patients take medication once a day for 8-12 weeks depending on their treatment plan.
Our team of skilled specialists and pharmacists creates a tailored Hep C treatment plan that fits your needs. Many of our team members have lived experience with Hep C and have successfully completed treatment. We’re passionate about supporting our patients and dismantling the stigma around Hep C, ensuring a compassionate and stigma-free experience.
Treatment is free or very low cost to most patients with insurance. If you don’t have insurance or are not eligible, our expert team can provide you with options. If there is any cost to you, our team will share that with you prior to starting treatment.
Hep C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). It is spread through contact with blood from an infected person.
HCV is typically spread through blood-to-blood contact with someone who has HCV. You can become infected with HCV from:
The CDC recommends everyone get tested for Hep C at least once. People who have ever injected drugs with shared needles, syringes, or other drug preparation equipment should be tested annually. For a full list of recommendations, please visit the CDC’s website.
For some people, Hep C is a short-term illness. If untreated, HCV can become a long-term, chronic infection, which can result in serious, even life-threatening health problems like cirrhosis and liver cancer. Fortunately, Hep C is curable with treatment.
Some people may even spontaneously clear their Hep C infection on their own, without any intervention.
Yes! Hep C is highly curable in most cases. Treatment is simple, and most people can be cured in 8-12 weeks.
The best way to prevent Hep C is to avoid sharing any equipment used to inject or snort substances, personal hygiene products, and/or unsanitized equipment used for tattoos and piercings.
CCC has two convenient locations for Hep C testing and treatment.
