Activists guide to Hepatitis C Virus Diagnostics

Please see the link below to view the detailed guide on HCV diagnostics.
Importantly, the information in this guide is written for people who are not medical specialists—namely for patients, community members from affected communities, researchers, educators, and treatment activists.

It lists the current diagnostics for HCV, current challenges and gaps and also briefly discusses the WHO guidelines for people diagnosed with Chronic HCV.

Thank you for circulating the Activist Guide.

We also have a training curriculum for advocates to adapt, tailor, and use in community education and diagnostics literacy workshops, with the aim to generate discussions and catalyze strategies for overcoming HCV dx barriers. It’s been used in advocacy workshops in Georgia, India, and Malaysia among patients, treatment advocates, organizers in affected communities, medical provider allies, and other resource people to help with community engagement in the national hepatitis elimination planning processes:
