About the Initiative
This SPNS initiative supported the following:
- Expansion of Hepatitis C (HCV) prevention, testing, care, and treatment capacity.
- Improvement in the coordination of linkage to and retention in HCV care and treatment for people with both HIV and HCV.
- Improvement in coordination with SAMHSA-funded substance use disorder (SUD) treatment providers to deliver behavioral health and SUD treatment support to achieve treatment completion and prevent HCV infection and re-infection.
In addition, the initiative supported enhancement of state, local and tribal health department surveillance systems to increase their capacity to monitor acute and chronic infections of HIV and HCV in areas of high populations or low-income, uninsured, and underserved racial and ethnic minorities.
This SPNS initiative was supported through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Minority HIV/AIDS Fund.
