State-specific resources to assist providers in navigating health coverage requirements that may impact the prescription of hepatitis c treatment.
Hepatitis
Liver disease that is tied to HCV infection is a leading cause of death among HIV-infected individuals. Ryan White-funded clinics are taking on a greater role in not only managing HCV disease but also providing HCV treatments, which was once considered too toxic and risky but is less so given new and emerging HCV drug regimens. Hepatitis B is also a major challenge for many people with HIV.
