The Hepatitis C kit contains a small blotter that is identified with a unique 14 digit code. Calling a toll free number initially activates your 14 digit code and gives you anonymous access to professional counselors to ensure that you understand the entire process. Using the small spring loaded device that comes with the kit, prick your little finger and put a couple of drops of blood onto the blotter. In ten business days, anonymously call a toll free number, identify yourself only with your 14 digit code and ask for your test results. If necessary, you then receive professional post-test counseling and medical referrals.
Early detection is important in determining appropriate treatments.
Anyone who is infected with hepatitis C should refrain from drinking alcohol to avoid further liver damage.
