Very pleased with the overall experience here. Receptionist was very pleasant as well as the support staff we encountered. Saw Dr. Mary Wolter who was very personable and easy to talk to. She performed a thorough exam and answered any questions or concerns we had. Never felt rushed. Office and patient rooms were immaculate.

Scheduling was a breeze thru the app. Got to AFC and also did my check in thru the app and was in a room within 10 minutes. I always love coming to AFC because I feel like I am heard and not rushed. I will continue to use AFC as my urgent care provider and I recommend everyone uses them too.

About Hepatitis test

Who should get tested for hepatitis?

Anyone who is at risk of contracting hepatitis should consider getting tested. This includes individuals who have been in close contact with someone who has hepatitis, those who have shared needles or other drug paraphernalia, and individuals who have had unprotected sex with multiple partners. It's also important for healthcare workers and those who travel to countries with high rates of hepatitis to get tested. According to the CDC, people born between 1945 and 1965, often referred to as baby boomers, are five times more likely to have hepatitis C, thus testing is highly recommended for this group.

Importance of getting tested

Getting tested for hepatitis is crucial, as the disease often shows no symptoms until significant liver damage has occurred. Early detection can lead to treatments that can slow the progression of the disease and prevent serious complications such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to the CDC, early detection and treatment of hepatitis can reduce the risk of death by 50%.

Prevalence of hepatitis in Queens

According to the CDC, Queens has a higher prevalence of hepatitis compared to other nearby counties such as Hampshire County and Worcester County. The rate of hepatitis in Queens is also higher than the national average. This could be due to a number of factors, including a higher rate of drug use and unprotected sex.

Risk factors related to hepatitis in Queens

Risk factors for hepatitis in Queens include drug use, unprotected sex, and close contact with someone who has hepatitis. Other factors that could contribute to the high prevalence of hepatitis in Queens include the high population density and the presence of various at-risk groups such as immigrants from countries with high rates of hepatitis.

Other STDs in Queens

In addition to hepatitis, Queens also has a high prevalence of other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, and syphilis. These STDs are also more prevalent in Queens compared to nearby cities such as Fresh Meadows and Jamaica. The high prevalence of these STDs could be due to the same risk factors that contribute to the high prevalence of hepatitis in Queens.
