Viral Hepatitis Integration Projects Am I eligible?

Eligibility criteria
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must need medical advice or guidance regarding Hepatitis A, B, or C.

Description
The Viral Hepatitis Integration Projects (VHIPs) are located in clinics and programs that are either directly funded or contracted through state or local health departments. The programs are making efforts to integrate hepatitis prevention and control services into some existing public health clinic programs that serve persons at high risk for infection with viral hepatitis (A, B, or C). The programs vary by site, but may include hepatitis A and or B vaccination services for persons at high risk for these infections, and hepatitis C counseling, testing, and referral (if testing positive) services for persons at high risk for infection. The settings in which these services are offered also may vary by site, but may include public health sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics, HIV counseling and testing programs, substance abuse treatment programs, or correctional health care programs.
