Every year, Americans have the opportunity to get a free hepatitis test on May 19. Hepatitis Testing Day is an annual campaign to raise awareness about viral hepatitis, its prevention, and to encourage people to get tested for hepatitis. It is an important date in the context of global efforts to combat viral infections that can lead to chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer.

The main goal of Hepatitis Testing Day is
To raise awareness about hepatitis, its symptoms, transmission routes, and possible health consequences.

To encourage people to get tested for hepatitis. Many people do not know they have a viral disease, as it is often asymptomatic in the early stages.

To support preventive measures and treatment of patients with viral hepatitis to prevent its progression and complications.
