Hepatitis C Surveillance Report: Trends and Risk Factors

The CDC National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System data reveals hepatitis C trends, reported cases per 100,000 population across age groups, gender, and ethnicity. Risk factors such as injection drug use, sexual contact, multiple sex partners, and occupation exposures are identified and discussed. Cases among men who have sex with men, injection drug users, dialysis patients, and those with occupational exposures indicate potential areas for intervention and prevention strategies.
