According to the CDC, anyone who has been exposed to hepatitis through contaminated blood, sexual contact, or shared needles should get tested. This includes individuals who have traveled to countries with high rates of hepatitis, healthcare workers, and those with a family history of liver disease. Additionally, people born between 1945 and 1965, often referred to as baby boomers, are at a higher risk and should also consider testing.
Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial as it can lead to severe health complications if left untreated. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, reducing the risk of liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Furthermore, knowing one's hepatitis status can help prevent the spread of the virus to others.
Urgent care centers like Carbon Health Urgent Care in Los Angeles and walk-in clinics offer hepatitis testing services. They provide a convenient option for those who need immediate testing without a prior appointment. You can book same-day and next-day testing appointments at these locations through Solv’s website and mobile app.
