Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infection is now one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease. Primary care physicians play an important role in the diagnosis and initial work-up of patients infected with this virus. Understanding which patients may be at risk is the first step. By understanding the correct use of hepatitis C virus diagnostic testing and the risk and benefits of antiviral therapy, providers will be better equipped to screen and counsel their patients.
