Hepatitis C testingFrom: Ronald E. Ainsworth (ainsron@msn.com)Thu Aug 26 10:59:36 1999
Hepatitis C has become a very significant problem in the 90's and from what I see, recommendations on management and testing are inthe developmental stage. For the last several years, I have offered Hep C Ab testing in patients who request or need STD testing. Is that everyone's practice now, and are there any practice guidelines that you are aware of from ACOG, Planned Parenthood or other "authorities" to support that? Are you offering Hepatitis C testing to New Ob patients who have the usual risk factors (IV drug use, partner with Hep C or IV drug user, history of blood transfusions prior to routine screening)? How about NOBs with tattos or body piercing, but no other risk factors?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
