Successful Campaigns

 Successful Hepatitis C Campaigns tend to have a look back focus since 1994

Right we see the Stop Caution Get Tested Poster asking all recipients of transfusions to get tested for Hepatitis C.  This was one of the very first early Nineties Poster Campaigns and reached many countries globally.

Moving into the Noughties the US and the Global Hepatitis C Message evolved to recommend all born between 1945 and 1975 get tested as they are up to 5 times more Hepatitis C infected.  
Basically testing became generational as the risk from transfusions was so great to this generation.  Notice people with Hepatitis C and at risk of it are depicted as normal people.



Most of the world has now adopted this route, as mass testing is the only way to find the numbers infected from transfusions, blood products, contaminated equipment and other invasive procedures. 

Basically where the Centre for Disease Control leads the world follows.


Contrastingly only in 2015, decades late and after a drawn out six year long public inquiry, 8% of the UK population at risk from contaminated blood got their first dedicated Hepatitis C poster in Scotland.


Finally as usual with transfusion Hepatitis C the NHS manage to produce a nightmare of stigma that completely confuses the bulk of patients at highest risk.  Nothing better illustrates their contempt for the people they have infected.  

The need to be politically correct and inclusive has merely been used to cover up that the bulk of Hepatitis C worldwide is an outbreak from healthcare.  So many patients with healthcare infections have suffered so much from this type of stigmatised information.
