Hep C: Social Media, Search, and Market Analysis

Report Overview

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a global disease affecting 170-200 million individuals worldwide. It is also the most common chronic blood borne infection in the United States, affecting 3.2-4.0 million individuals. Unlike other forms of hepatitis that are known for being transmitted sexually, HCV is most commonly transmitted through blood transfusions, needle sticks, and sharing contaminated needles, razors or tattooing instruments. Before 1992, widespread screening of donated blood was not performed. It is estimated that many of today’s cases resulted from past transfusions of donated infected blood. Although the number of new HCV cases in the US has declined due to safer needle practices and improved blood-donor screening, the burden of the disease will continue rising over the next two decades as those already infected with HCV experience disease progression.
