Event Details

VEN (Viral ElimiNation) Centers offer Arizona residents Hepatitis C Testing & Treatment, and PrEP or PEP to anyone who needs it. Founded by the experts who developed Arizona Liver Health clinics, VEN Centers goal is to eliminate Hepatitis C and barriers to treatment across the state by spreading awareness, education, and connecting individuals needing the cure to care.

A team from VEN Centers will be at the Library Thursday, August 8 10:00a - 2:00p to offer FREE health screenings for Hepatitis C, HIV, Random Glucose levels, and a blood pressure check. The Hepatitis C test is a rapid antibody test, requiring one drop of blood, and takes 1-2 minutes with results in 20 minutes. For those resulting with positive antibody or have a known positive, VEN Centers can connect them to care on the spot or make a future plan individually.
