West Virginia Health officials are urging some patients at Mountain State Vascular clinic in Beckley to get blood tests checking for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV after possible exposure. A letter that went out to patients said the clinic reported that single-use syringes were used on more than one patient during invasive procedures at the facility. State health officials are investigating.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources said in a statement that no infections have been confirmed, but certain patients who visited the practice between Oct. 27, 2020 and July 7, 2021 should get tested.
The facility performs vascular procedures, wound care and diagnostic services.
