The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s A Guide to Comprehensive Hepatitis C Testing and Counseling focuses on identifying hepatitis C infection in adults born between 1945 and 1965. The guide, which is available at http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/resources/professionals/pdfs/counselingandtestingpc.pdf, explains why these patients need to be tested, covers testing recommendations, and describes how to counsel patients about the results. (Sample scripts are included.)
