The people we interviewed for this project described many different experiences of hepatitis C testing and diagnosis. For some, testing was a regular part of their healthcare, while others only found out about the virus after tests for other health issues or when donating blood. The experiences recounted in this broadsheet also suggested that testing differs according to location. While many participants had tests and treatment in healthcare services (specialist or generalist), some had received their diagnosis in other settings, such as prisons.
