REGINA All Nations Hope Network hosted a Hepatitis C testing clinic on Wednesday to help spread awareness of World Hepatitis Day. The goal of the day, which is recognized on July 28, is to raise awareness and stop the spread of the virus. The clinic offered a finger prick test, which takes about five minutes and will tell the patient if they have been exposed to Hepatitis C. If the test is positive, the person will be referred to get blood tests to see if the virus is present in their body. If they do, they will be referred to treatment.
