Course Description

• Co-sponsored by the California Department of Public Health and California Prevention Training Center at the University of California San Francisco, this STI Clinical Update webinar will provide a comprehensive review of hepatitis C (HCV) in 2026, focusing on clinical cases and test-to-treat models of care. 

Learning Objectives

• Understand and apply the test-to-treat model for hepatitis C
  Participants will learn how to initiate direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy at the point of diagnosis, including in community settings, using Dr. Terrault, AASLD or CDPH, or other simplified treatment pathways. Literature supporting the effectiveness and feasibility of test-to-treat will be reviewed.

• Use case-based scenarios to identify key clinical considerations
  Through interactive case studies, providers will explore how to interpret relevant lab values, assess comorbidities, and evaluate potential drug interactions when initiating DAA therapy. Emphasis will be placed on practical decision-making using simplified treatment algorithms.

• Implement appropriate monitoring and follow-up during hepatitis C treatment
  Attendees will learn recommended baseline and follow-up laboratory testing, including HCV RNA viral load timing, and understand whether there is a need for and the frequency and purpose of clinical follow-up visits throughout the treatment course.
