[Brendan Harney @BrendanLHarney]

Very happy to share our recent paper in @LiverInt on #HCV care in primary care and community services. More evidence that a) people who currently and/or recently inject drugs can be cured of #HCV & b) treatment in primary care is feasible and effective https://t.co/qSRzmHZT6z

[Peter Higgs @higgspg]

Melbourne may still be in lockdown.

But some of its most iconic landmarks – @AAMIPark, @cityofmelbourne Town Hall, Flinders St Station and Bolte Bridge – are still lit up in brilliant purple on @OverdoseDay to honour our lost loved ones, and recognise those living with the loss.

[Steph Main @stephanieEmain]

[Harm Reduction Vic @HRV_Aust]

Good news! Recent legal changes in Victoria mean it is no longer a crime for community members to pass on sterile needles and syringes. It's been illegal even though it's impt to avoid hep C & HIV.

[UNSW Centre for Social Research in Health @CSRH_UNSW]

Today we launched the first part of our 2021 Annual Report of Trends in Behaviour, focusing on #hepatitisB + #hepatitisC highlighting our contribution to 4 key issues:

1. need for more research on hepatitis B, esp. social + cultural knowledge + settings of affected communities

[Burnet Institute @BurnetInstitute]

Australia can achieve @WHO target to eliminate #hepC as public health threat. First, we must find thousands who are unaware of their infection 🔎 and get them treated. To reach priority populations we need creative strategies and partnerships.

#WorldHepatitisDay

[Burnet Institute @BurnetInstitute]

"If 2 billionaires had raced to eliminate diseases, one chose #hepB and one chose #hepC, imagine where we'd be," @MargaretHellard says 🚀 should be launched in the direction of hepatitis elimination in closing remarks for our #WorldHepatitisDay symposium.
Thanks all who attended!
