from testing to treatment
Since 2007, Baylor has created a unique HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C voluntary counselling and testing screening program.
Building on the experience of assisting patients with HIV, the foundation has developed support services for patients and families affected by hepatitis. The program has a strong focus on building self-management skills and increasing self-efficacy.
At the end of 2015, more than 300 patients with hepatitis were enrolled in this program. It empowers patients and families through group education and information sessions with specialists and peers.
