Dr. Chansolme with Infectious Disease Consultants of OKC will discuss how rising cases of opioid addiction in the U.S. have reached endemic rates. The outcome is a public health crisis referred to as the opioid epidemic. Rising rates of HCV infection may have links to the increase in opioid and injection opioid use. During this talk, we will discuss: Hepatitis C risk factors and when to get tested; and the effects of Hepatitis C if left untreated (severe liver damage, cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure).
