A6: Many of those living with hep B/C are unaware of their infection. We can help prevent the spread of viral hepatitis through screening more people; together, we can reduce the burden of hep B/C on high-risk communities. #HepFreeNYC #CBWCHC

[CBWCHC @CBWCHC]

A6: During COVID, our Health Center has been delivering virtual education through our hep B webinars, and we also now provide the option of off-site hep B screening. People no longer have to travel to our Health Center to get screened! #HepFreeNYC #CBWCHC

A10: A combination of in-person and #telehealth services help #HepB #HepC patients remain in care and on treatment. All methods of supporting continuity of care should be supported! #HepFreeNYC

[Hispanic Federation @HispanicFed]

Q10: What is one lesson learned or piece of advice for others who want to expand their work on raising awareness about #ViralHepatitis? Are there specific lessons learned or advice gathered during COVID-19? #HEPFREENYC

[nirah @nirahjohnson]

A6: #HepC test + treat = start treatment right away! It's the only way to ensure everyone is on their way to #Cure :) #HepFreeNYC

[BOOM!Health @boomhealthnyc]

Our participants will typically have to wait weeks before they can get approval from their insurance companies for treatment even with our assistance. It can be frustrating and is not a process that helps to facilitate the goal of eliminating Hep C. #HepFreeNYC #EndHepNYC

[nirah @nirahjohnson]

A5: Community Health Work services should be reimbursed by health insurance! #CHWs can provide outreach, health care #navigation + care coordination in communities most affected by #HepB and #HepC! #HepFreeNYC

[Hispanic Federation @HispanicFed]

Q5: #ViralHepatitis is severely underfunded, which in turn minimizes efforts to prevent and treat #HepB and #HepC. How can we ensure that there is funding to end the #HepC & B epidemics? #HEPFREENYC

[nirah @nirahjohnson]

@HispanicFed A3: There's a great need to support people who don't have stable housing to access integrated #HepC + substance use treatment. Innovative solutions are needed to keep in contact and ensure people remain engaged in care. Ideas?? #HepFreeNYC #harmreduction @NYHomeless @hepfreenyc

[Hispanic Hepatitis @NHHAD]

A3: With awareness campaigns designed culturally and lingusitically appropriate for each community. During COVID-19 we should use socila and traditional media to distribute information about testing, vaccination and treatment #HepFreeNYC #NHHAD @hepfreenyc @nycHealthy

[Korean Community Services of Metropolitan New York @kcsnewyork]

A3: We host free #HepB screenings regularly at our community center. All are welcome regardless of immigration or health insurance status. #HepFreeNYC
