SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Hepatitis C virus infection is a
contagious liver disease that ranges in
severity from a mild illness lasting a few
weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. It
results from infection with the hepatitis
C virus (HCV), which is spread
primarily through contact with the
blood of an infected individual. In
approximately 75%–85% of persons,
HCV persists as a chronic infection,
which places infected persons at risk for
liver cirrhosis, liver cancer or
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and
complications involving other organ
systems that develop over the decades
following onset of infection. HCV
infection status is determined by a
blood test.
In the United States an estimated 2.7–
3.9 million persons are living with HCV
infection. Cirrhosis, HCC and HCVrelated mortality have been increasing
among persons infected with HCV, and
these outcomes are projected to increase
significantly in the coming decades.
HCV-infected persons who are aware of
their infection can benefit from health
services to prevent additional harm to
the liver (e.g., hepatitis A virus and
hepatitis B virus vaccination), medical
monitoring, and behavioral changes

(e.g., reductions in alcohol use). Further,
anti-viral therapies can clear HCV from
the system (i.e., a virologic cure) and
halt disease progression for many
patients living with HCV infection.
CDC is seeking public comment on
these Recommendations, particularly
concerning the following questions:
(1) Are there other data, evidence, or
studies to consider regarding:
a. The burden of HCV infection
morbidity, and mortality in the
populations for whom testing is
recommended?
b. The number of persons living with
HCV who are unaware of their infection
status?
c. The benefits and harms of HCV
testing, care and treatment?
d. The cost effectiveness of the
proposed recommendations?
e. Settings in a community where
testing should be targeted?
(2) Are there other factors, e.g., other
scientific studies not referenced, which
should be considered in the
development of the Recommendations?
(3) Are there any other comments
about the utility of the information?
