Clinical and translational research focused on viral hepatitis. Based at the Institute of Human Virology, at the University of Maryland School of Medicine
At HCRPIHV we aim to advance the science of HBV treatment, and work toward a cure. We are currently enrolling for a study to evaluate a new study drug. Contact us for more information! #HBV
Proud of stellar work from my @BIDMChealth co-fellow @elanasr being presented in the Hepatitis C: Elimination and Treatment sesh @IDWeek2019
When buprenorphine was available at the outpt ID visit along with HCV treatment, adherence in long term ⬆️ #IDWeek2019
Health fair educational event at @CCACCInc panasian volunteer health clinic a couple of weekends ago. Good turn out, lots of interest. Get screened, get vaccinated, get liver ultrasounds. #hbv#hbveducate#hbvvaccinate
Mortality Among Patients With Chronic #HepatitisB Infection: The Chronic #Hepatitis Cohort Study (CHeCS). The impact of #hepB is drastically underestimated in the U.S.! #HBV https://t.co/rfRq9UL316
Late! But here’s our ID Fellow at #idsa18 and our poster on the #HBV care cascade at the Maryland VA system. Of 168 with a +ve sAg, only 40% had f/u testing to confirm chronic infection, only 35% had HCC screening, and only 15% had fibrosis eval. Working to improve these numbers!
Great presentation by Elana Rosenthal on SVR in PWIDs. Reassuring that imperfect adherence can still deliver SVR #LiverMtg18 @HCVAction @LJWGHepCandSM
High cure rates among people who inject drugs despite imperfect adherence to DAAs. Dr Elana Rosenthal presenting data from the ANCHOR study at AASLD. #HCV#aasld#hcrp
Eliminating #hepB is a BIG task. That's why we ask Congress for help. Each year, we spend a day on Capitol Hill engaging Congress members and their staffers in a conversation about #HBV.Relive our Advocacy Day right here: https://t.co/oshaWuY1II #NOhep#hepBunite#justB#hepaware

Great turnout at the Emmanuel Presbyterian Mission Church Health Fair! Thank you to Ghana community's health awareness day leaders for organizing such a well-attended event. And a special THANKS to all who came out & #GetTested
Need to acknowledge that #HCV DAA therapy response in people who have recently injected drugs might be lower in the “real-world” - Study from Vancouver suggests integration of #HCV & OST in the same location may improve follow-up @ijdrugpolicy@INHepSU https://t.co/2bUbEpz5l9
New in this week’s MMWR: reports on worldwide chronic #HepB, HIV testing of African American men, newborn screenings, and more! https://t.co/rIDMOHKoee
About 257M people are living with chronic hepatitis B virus globally. Generic #antivirals prices have declined, yet global treatment coverage remains low. https://t.co/Xs8EI3GVax
