The increase in rates of reported cases of acute hepatitis C since 2010 has been observed among both males and females. During 2022, the rate of reported acute hepatitis C was 2.0 cases per 100,000 population among males (almost 7 times the corresponding rate during 2010). For the first time in over a decade, the rate among males decreased during 2021–2022 (5% decrease). The rate among females remained at 1.0 cases per 100,000 population since 2018 yet remains over 3 times the rate during 2010.
