The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is proposing that every U.S. citizen born from 1945 through 1965 get tested for all hepatitis C – and presents some startling statistics to back up that idea.
The CDC says one in 30 “baby boomers” – is infected with hepatitis C, although most don’t know it. Many baby boomers do not perceive themselves to be at risk and are not being tested.
