About HepVu
An estimated 4 million people in the U.S. are living with Hepatitis C infection.
Making data on the viral hepatitis epidemic widely available, easily accessible, and locally relevant to inform public health decision making.
HepVu is an online platform that visualizes data and disseminates insights on the viral hepatitis epidemic across the U.S. HepVu’s mission is to make data widely available, easily accessible, and locally relevant to inform public health decision-making. HepVu is a Powered By AIDSVu project presented by the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University in partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc.
Limited data is one of the most critical gaps in our national response to viral hepatitis. Though deaths associated with Hepatitis C continue to surpass the total combined number of deaths from 60 other reportable infectious diseases – including HIV, pneumococcal disease, and tuberculosis – the public health surveillance system for Hepatitis C is not as robust or extensive as it is for other infectious diseases like HIV. This makes it challenging to understand the scope of the Hepatitis C epidemic in the U.S. and develop tailored strategies to improve access to screening, treatment, and prevention services.
