Everyone deserves access to #hepatitis prevention, screening, and treatment. #hepC is easily curable. Today is #WorldHepatitisDay: it’s time for action!

Last week, we welcomed 15 new Community Navigators with a 3-day training to kick off our 9th cohort! Community Navigators are an essential part of #HepC elimination in SF. Many thanks to @GLIDEHarmReduxn, @SFAIDSFound, and @SF_DPH for their continued partnership! #alsodogs

👏👏 @Greenwich_House: “Major scientific advances that are easy to implement & drastically reduce suffering come along once in a generation. We urge policymakers, health care providers, & community leaders to expand #hepC treatment & elimination efforts.” https://t.co/gQMyeZlTrF

Today, we granted marketing authorization to the first hepatitis C virus (HCV) test that can be used to bring diagnosis to appropriately certified point-of-care settings for individuals at risk for hepatitis C, including certain substance use disorder treatment facilities, correctional facilities, and syringe service programs as well as testing in certain doctor’s offices, emergency departments, and urgent care clinics operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver. https://t.co/cnuYZotJ3i

Rather than requiring a sample to be sent to a central lab for testing, the test detects HCV RNA and delivers results in about an hour using a blood sample from the fingertip.

According to the @WHO 2024 Global Hepatitis Report urgent action is needed to reduce new cases and prevent deaths. #hepC is curable & could be eliminated with sufficient investment in prevention & treatment. We must get back on track to eliminate #HCV https://t.co/tKHh3MPx6T

Great article in @latimes by Dr. Benor: “A strategic, coordinated plan of testing & tx would lower (#hepc) levels rapidly... reducing disease inside and outside the jails. The continuing failure to undertake such an effort is deadly & unconscionable.” https://t.co/A4zPu1N9tn
