Hepatitis Resources

AIDS Action Committee of MA (AAC) and the Massachusetts Viral Hepatitis Coalition (MVHC) created this guide to help residents locate hepatitis C services in our state, including testing sites, treatment specialists, and support groups.

AIDS Action’s Health Library program is one centralized place where you can find and download up-to-date and factually sound information on hepatitis. Visit the hepatitis C topic page in the online library for more information.

May marks Hepatitis Awareness Month and May 19 marks National Hepatitis Testing Day. This month provides an opportunity for concentrated messaging around hepatitis prevention, testing, and treatment. Help raise awareness about hepatitis prevention, testing and treatment through Facebook and Twitter. Download the toolkit here.
