Came in thinking I had strep throat. I have covid. No meds given or input as to current guidelines for quarantining, etc.--but I must admit I forgot to ask until I got home. Perhaps a hangout/some paperwork would have been nice

Friendly Staff

Although I had an appointment, I still had to wait a half hour before my turn. I had to explain why I was there to 3 people: the MA, the intern, then the provider. My symptoms included cough, congestion, headache, sore throat. When I came 3 months earlier with similar symptoms, I was prescribed one medication for cough and another for congestion. This time I was not given any prescriptions. I would not have wasted my time if I knew I would not be given a prescription to relieve my symptoms.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Anyone who has been exposed to the hepatitis virus, either through sexual contact, sharing of needles, or from mother to child during childbirth, should get tested. This also includes individuals who have traveled to areas with high rates of hepatitis, those with a history of drug use, and men who have sex with men. According to the CDC, people born between 1945 and 1965, often referred to as baby boomers, should also get tested as they are five times more likely to have hepatitis C.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it can lead to serious health problems such as liver damage, liver cancer, and even death if left untreated. Early detection can help prevent these complications and lead to better outcomes. Additionally, knowing your status can help prevent the spread of the virus to others.

Hepatitis testing options in Waterbury, CT:

Prevalence of hepatitis in Waterbury

While specific data for Waterbury is not readily available, Connecticut as a state has a lower rate of hepatitis C compared to the national average, according to the CDC. However, it's important to note that rates can vary within the state and from city to city.
