I was told that I may have Hepatitis C by my drugs worker. I spent a week thinking I was going to die.
I was so pleased when the van came to me in Portsmouth and tested me, not only did they tell me I didn’t have Hep C they also educated me.
Hepatitis C is curable. Please don’t search the internet but call the team who will put you at ease

You are right - Hepatitis C is very treatable and I hope that you will share your experience of the Van with others to encourage people to learn more about it and get tested. Thank you for sharing!
