This page is a resource center for CDC's funded state, local, and territorial programs that focus on preventing viral hepatitis transmission in adults.

The Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention Coordinator (AVHPC) provides the technical expertise necessary for the management and coordination of activities directed toward prevention of viral hepatitis infections and integration of viral hepatitis prevention services into healthcare settings and public health programs that serve adults at risk for viral hepatitis. This includes the identification, counseling, and referral for medical management of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection.

The AVHPC collaborates with other public health programs (e.g., STD, HIV, immunization, correctional health, substance abuse treatment, syringe exchange) and medical organizations serving primary and specialty medical care providers to design and implement effective viral hepatitis prevention interventions for at-risk populations.
