If You Have Hemophilia or VWD Type 3

If You Have Hemophilia or VWD Type 3

• Ask for inhibitor testing at your next doctor’s visit. It is important that all people with hemophilia or VWD type 3 who use clotting factor concentrates get tested for inhibitors at least once a year.
• Find out how to receive free inhibitor testing. Eligible individuals can receive free inhibitor testing at federally funded hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs) through the Community Counts Registry for Bleeding Disorders Surveillance.
• Learn all you can about inhibitors. Check out CDC’s inhibitor website, which contains information and fact sheets on inhibitors that you can download and share!
• If you have any concerns that a bleeding episode is not responding to treatment, consider contacting your doctor for advice.
