The Global #HepatitisC pandemic is elimination by 2030 possible?
What is needed is a single shot Long acting DAA that is affordable and be could be distributed worldwide.
What about Nano-Formulations of Glecapravir and Pibrentasvir 🙏🏽

At the #clinicalPk workshop David Thomas outlines the amazing response to #HepC DAAs in those who receive them. But how do we reach the 80% of people who need them but can’t access them?

Fascinating, talk by Andrew Hill #BHIVA25 looking the cost effectiveness of enhanced Test &Treat vs the benefits of expanded PrEP use
He suggests the prices of Cabotegravir or Lenacapavir in the UK needs to be around £1000 per person per year to be as effective as enhanced Test &Treat

CAB resistance is a Low a Incidence High Consequence scenario
Tracer studies indicate variable placement of IM injections
Does compartmental penetration matter (probably not)

“To detect 1 additional person not picked up by standard rapid tests. You would need to test 5305 people with NAT at a cost of $46K-$450K ! 😱

The optimism felt last year particularly in prevention successes have been dampened. The cuts to USAID, and the huge implications on funding PEPFAR are so far reaching.
