Introduction

Hepatitis and Family Planning Clinics

     Title X is a federal grant program administered by the Office of Family Planning within the Department of Health and Human Services. Title X supported-clinics are open to all women, regardless of age, income, marital status, or health insurance status. Title X requires that clients visiting clinics for contraceptive care be offered preventative health services, including sexually transmitted infection and HIV testing (1). The guidelines also state that immunization status should be assessed, including hepatitis B. Therefore, integrating hepatitis education, testing and prevention into a visit is not only consistent with the mission of Title X but feasible considering hepatitis B is most commonly transmitted sexually.   The risk factors associated with hepatitis A, B, & C are also similar to those associated with HIV & other STDs.
