Active Hepatitis C Infection

A rapid treatment model that included a 7-day starter pack of medication significantly increased hepatitis C cure rates among young people who inject drugs, according to a small study.

Because of pandemic-related disruptions in hepatitis C care, researchers said thousands of cases will remain unidentified with fewer patients initiating care and achieving SVR.

People who inject drugs experienced sustained increases in health-related quality of life when they were successfully treated for hepatitis C during opioid agonist treatment, according to a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.

Groundbreaking developments in HIV treatment are transitioning the disease into a chronic condition. Thankfully, patients can live long and full lives, but other challenges arise, particularly for those living with both HIV and the hepatitis C virus.
