Do you have hepatitis and don’t know it? There are over 4 million Americans who have undiagnosed hepatitis and could have serious health complications. Can you answer yes to any of these risk factors?
  • You have a tattoo?
  • You are a healthcare worker who may have been infected by tainted blood?
  • You had a blood transfusion before 1992?
  • You have used syringes used by others?
A simple and safe blood test is all that is needed to know if you have hepatitis and find treatment options. The American Liver Foundation has teamed with BioScrip Community Pharmacies to provide FREE testing.

For more information on risk factors, testing and treatment and how you can support the fight against liver disease by being part of the Chicago Liver Life Walk, call 312.377.9030 or go to www.liverfoundation.org.
