End Hep C

Fighting to #EndHepC in New York State

[End Hep C @EndHepCNY]

We are committed to eliminating hepatitis C by the @WHO 2030 goal, but we need these funds to make that a reality.

[End Hep C @EndHepCNY]

We are up in Albany demanding we invest in eliminating #HepC in New York!

[NVHR @NVHR1]

NVHR & @HarvardCHLPI just launched the new phase of #HepatitisC: State of Medicaid Access, which considers an expanded range of barriers to #HCV treatment access for Medicaid beneficiaries. Progress has been made but there is much work left to be done. https://t.co/Sp9KLObQyL

[Coalition for Syringe Access @SyringeAccess]

THIS is why government needs to hire & work in coalition with people who use drugs.

The best way to know the biggest & newest threats to drug user health is by talking to folks who use drugs.

We can't wait 5 years for federal agencies to start addressing benzo dope.

Another step in the work towards #EndHepCNY, go follow @HCVDashboardNY and check out the data as we work towards eliminating HCV in New York State!

[HCVDashboardNY @HCVDashboardNY]

We are excited to announce the launch of the Hepatitis C (HCV) Dashboard to measure, track, and disseminate actionable information on New York State’s progress towards #HCV elimination by the year 2030.

[Treatment Action Group (TAG) @TAGTeam_Tweets]

Last year, @NYGovCuomo cut $65 million in #NYC health programs for communities + families.

@AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie must work with @DickGottfried & @NYSenatorRivera @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil @NYCSpeakerCoJo @MarkLevine to restore Article 6 funding! #GoBoldonHealthcare

[NVHR @NVHR1]

We expect finalized guidance recommending #HCV testing for ALL adults (+ likely for all pregnant persons) to be published in the coming months by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) & the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Are you ready?

“The goal of any program for PWID should be to improve survival and quality of life - We must not forget to treat the individual” - Great presentation from Sunil Solomon at #INHSU19 @INHepSU @JVLazarus

[INHSU @INHepSU]

Great work being done in the New York City jail system with #hepC treatment rates growing and high HCV screening rates in risk groups #INHSU19

[EndHepCMA @EndHepCMA]

Strong start to day 2 of #INHSU19 with discussions on removing barriers to #hepc cure and engaging in hcv tx within the greater framework of drug user health. Elimination efforts will need to include these broader considerations to be successful. #INHSU19

[NVHR @NVHR1]

ICYMI: #harvoni & #sovaldi now labeled to treat #hepatitisC in children 3yrs+. Great news for addressing #verticaltransmission. But how will we find them? Should #USPSTF guidance incorporate children and pregnant adults?

Let us know: https:/ https://t.co/MmbaaRNegk
