Anyone over the age of 18 and living in England can now order a free and confidential home test for hepatitis C via the NHS. This is an at-home, self-sample test taking a few drops of blood from a finger. If found positive for hepatitis C, patients can be treated and cured.
People can be directed to order a free and confidential home testing kit from HepC (hepctest.nhs.uk)
