This study provides Hepatitis C virus screening to the members of the World Trade Center
Health Program followed at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai born during 1945-1965,
and linkage to care for those found infected. The study will also determine if exposure to
human remains, blood and/or bodily fluids during the World Trade Center Health Program
activities are associated with Hepatitis C virus infection. These findings would be relevant
to the larger United States population, especially to persons born during 1945-1965 who are
at high risk of Hepatitis C virus infection.

The purpose of the project is to determine if the World Trade Center Health Program cohort is
at an increased risk of Hepatitis C virus infection, determine if human exposure to human
remains, blood and/or body fluids during the World Trade Center recovery activities is
associated with increased risk of Hepatitis C virus infection, and to determine if referral
to a co-located site for Hepatitis C virus care is associated with improved linkage to
Hepatitis C virus care in the members of the World Trade Center Health Program born during
1945 through 1965.
