Endorsement

Prevention means getting tested and taking care of yourself and others: Test in the City offers you the opportunity to get tested for HBV, HCV and HIV free of charge

The Test in the City project is organised in partnership with the Italian Fast-Track Cities network, and it is aimed at migrant populations, people who use substances, and Italian citizens over the age of 55.

People who know they are positive for HBV, HCV, HDV, and HIV can also receive information and assistance during screening days.

HBV: IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN PROTECT YOURSELF

Effective and safe treatments exist for HBV.

Avoid the consequences of infection.

What is HBV

HDV: IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN TAKE ACTION

If you have hepatitis B, you may also have HDV.

Knowing this makes a difference to your health.

What is HDV

HCV: IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BE
CURED

HCV is curable in more than 95% of cases.

The sooner you know, the sooner you can eliminate the virus.

What is HCV

HIV: IF YOU KNOW, YOU CAN LIVE
WELL

HIV can now be controlled and is not transmitted.

Knowing is vital for you and for others.

What is HIV

The test is reliable, anonymous, is performed in a few moments using a blood drop from a prick of your fingertip, and provides results very quickly. Only in the event of a positive result, the test must be confirmed with a venous sampling test at a city hospital, where you will go by a facilitated route. If you test positive for HBV, it is important to also get tested for HDV.

Taking the test is simple and can make a difference to your health.
On this site you will find useful information, cities and scheduled appointments to take the test.

Hepatitis B, Delta, C and HIV. What do they have in common?

That they can be treated! But to avoid health consequences, one needs to know if one is get infected. People with hepatitis B, hepatitis C or become infected with HIV may ignore it and find out after many years^1-3.
Instead, it is important to know as early as possible because today there are therapies that prevent these diseases from progressing and worsening, as in the case of hepatitis B, Delta and HIV, and also allow one to be cured, as in the case of hepatitis C^1-3. Being treated also means not transmitting the disease to other people^1-3.

To know this, simply take the test. The test is quick: you get the results in a very short time. It is anonymous: only you will know the result of the test. It is free and, if necessary, you will be put directly in touch with the city hospital that will take care of you. If you test positive for HBV, it is important to also get tested for HDV.

Hepatitis B,
Delta, C, HIV.

Testing. Treat.
Prevent

The hepatitis B virus can most commonly be transmitted from mother to child at birth, through sexual intercourse and blood from infected persons². The infection is widespread throughout the world, with Africa and South-east Asia being the most common areas. Available therapies do not eliminate the virus, but avoid the serious consequences that can occur if the disease becomes chronic, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer².

It requires the presence of HBV in order to replicate. For this reason, hepatitis D (or Delta) only occurs in people infected with HBV⁴. The HBV vaccine also protects against HDV infection⁴. Today, there are effective drugs against this infection, which can lead to the most severe form of chronic hepatitis⁴. HDV is in fact the most aggressive of the hepatitis viruses: like HBV and HCV, it can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer, but much more quickly⁴. In fact, in 2025, the World Health Organization declared HDV carcinogenic and called for prompt action⁵.

Hepatitis C is an inflammatory disease that, if it becomes chronic, progressively destroys liver cells until it leads to serious consequences, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer³. The virus is transmitted through contact with infected blood, less easily by sexual contact or from an infected mother to her child at birth³. The infection is widespread throughout the world, especially in Eastern Europe, Central Asia and West Africa. Today, there are very effective therapies that can eliminate the virus and cure in more than 95% of cases. There is no vaccine against HCV³.

This is the virus that can cause AIDS, a serious infectious disease¹. HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk of infected people, at any age, and is capable of reducing the human defenses against other infections and diseases¹. There is no vaccine that protects against HIV but very effective drugs that block the virus¹; although treatment does not eliminate the virus from the body, those who take it regularly do not develop AIDS and do not transmit HIV to other people¹.
