Thanks. Looks like a typo by HHS.gov.

Seems like a typo. If you follow their source in a footnote, you get this article, which concludes:

Conclusion: The number of US residents who have been infected with hepatitis C is unknown but is probably at least 4.6 million (range 3.4 million-6.0 million), and of these, at least 3.5 million (range 2.5 million-4.7 million) are currently infected; additional sources of potential underestimation suggest that the true prevalence could well be higher.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4751870/ is the full text article, not the abstract HHS links to.

Now this is a 2015 article using data through 2010 so not exactly up to date.
