5 (1 vote)

Recorded On: 10/24/2017

As HCV therapies now achieve high rates of SVR across a broad spectrum of individuals in patient care, there is a need to consider those HCV-infected persons who are not or may have difficulty accessing care or engaging in HCV therapy. Additionally, aspects related to prevention of reinfection are relevant in these difficult to reach populations. This program is targeting HCV SIG clinicians, public and global health experts as well as patient advocates with the goal of sharing expertise on how to improve the cascade of care in the “difficult to reach” populations.
