Responsible Inclusion of Pregnant Individuals in Eradicating HCV
Ravi Jhaveri, Lynn M. Yee, Swati Antala, Margaret Murphy, William A. Grobman, Seema K. Shah – 19 March 2021 – HCV infections have increased in recent years due to injection drug use and the opioid epidemic. Simultaneously, HCV cure has become a reality, with the advent of direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) and expansion of treatment programs. As a result, HCV screening recommendations now include all adults, including pregnant individuals; and many countries have endorsed widespread DAA access as a strategy to achieve HCV eradication.
