HepVu Launches County-Level Hepatitis C-Related Mortality Data and Maps Visualizing Hepatitis C’s Impact on Americans at the Local-Level

HepVu.org is an online platform that visualizes data and disseminates insights on the Hepatitis C epidemic in the U.S. to increase awareness of viral hepatitis and inform public health decision-making. HepVu is a Powered By AIDSVu project presented by Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health in partnership with Gilead Sciences, Inc. In addition to mapping the burden of Hepatitis C at the county- and state-level, HepVu provides users with educational infographics, state-specific factsheets, and downloadable datasets.

HepVu released new interactive maps visualizing U.S. county-level Hepatitis C-related mortality, illustrating how factors such as age and geographic region affect health outcomes. Published in Hepatology, the data demonstrate that Hepatitis C-related mortality has been decreasing across the U.S. since 2013
