HCV TREATMENT: Start the Hepatitis C treatment while a patient is in the hospital (we do this and continue the whole time if PWID are being given 6 weeks of IV antibiotics for instance for osteomyelitis/endocarditis) - don't wait until outpatient setting. Like ART - start right

Remarkable RCT from Norway demonstrating that starting HCV treatment in the hospital with newly diagnosed HCV among PWIDs is superior to deferring therapy to outpatient care in achieving HCV cure. Results argue for broader use. @HMidgard @selihep

New study @AddictionJrnl finds incarcerated people had a massive (500%) reduction in overdose deaths in the 2 months post-release when receiving jail-based MOUD. Offering this life-saving treatment should be mandatory for jails and prisons nationally.

Eliminating Hepatitis C will be harder then we originally thought but there are solutions and possibilities, we need to continue to do research and get hard evidence on what works and not @INHepSU #gettingcracking
