KP-Led Same Day HCV Test and Treat Study

"After completing informed consent procedures, screening procedures will take place to assess eligibility. Clients who are anti-HCV and HCV-RNA positive, but meet one/more ineligible characteristics for simplified treatment will be referred to a hepatologist for treatment initiation.~Participants who are HCV-RNA positive and otherwise eligible will be offered to initiate DAAs at the CBO, followed by telehealth visits at week 4 and 8 and CBO visits at week 12, and week 24. If a visit is requested by the client, it can be conducted through telehealth or in-person at the clinic depending on client preferences. Substance use will be assessed using ASSIST, Retention in care, occurrence of adverse events during treatment, completion of treatment, and SVR achievement will be assessed. Clients who achieve SVR will be retested with HCV-RNA every 3 months to assess HCV re-infection. Clients who do not achieve SVR will be referred for further analysis and treatment."
