Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Anyone who has been exposed to the hepatitis virus or is at risk should consider testing. This includes individuals who have engaged in unprotected sex, shared needles, or have a history of drug use. Additionally, those who have traveled to areas with high rates of hepatitis, or have a medical condition requiring blood transfusions, should also consider testing.

Early detection allows for prompt treatment and can prevent the spread of the virus to others. According to the CDC, many people with hepatitis are unaware they have it, making testing even more important.
