The Simply Speaking Hepatitis lecture series includes a curriculum that highlights the very latest clinical data utilizing a library of PowerPoint slide presentations developed and approved by key expert physicians and further reviewed and approved by the Planning Committee.

The national strategy for the elimination of HCV in the United States calls for a 90% reduction in the incidence of HCV and having 90% of those with HCV being treated. Scaling up HCV treatment in persons who inject drugs (PWIDs) and persons who are incarcerated is necessary to achieve HCV elimination targets.

These slides will review important issues for PWIDs and the incarcerated with HCV, including epidemiologic trends, prevention strategies, and AASLD recommendations for contemporary HCV management approaches/challenges and harm-reduction approaches.

Critical to achieving the elimination of HCV infection is identifying HIV-infected persons with improved screening and surveillance approaches and linking them to HCV care and treatment. These steps will reduce the incidence of HCV, cirrhosis, HCC, liver-related deaths, and retransmission of HCV. These slides will review the changing epidemiology/ demographics of HCV infection and burden of disease and discusses screening and linkage-to-care approaches important to achieving the elimination of HCV infection in the United States.

Activity Summary:
Patient Perspectives in HCV is an educational podcast comprising a series of episodes released throughout the year.

These interview-based podcasts will focus on the patient's life experience with HCV infection, including diagnosis, interactions with healthcare providers, top treatment concerns, and how life changed since being cured. The series will also discuss approaches to improve HCV outcomes based on lessons learned from these patient perspectives.

Activity Summary:
NAFLD and resulting NASH are highly prevalent globally and in the United States, where they are a growing cause of cirrhosis, HCC, and increasingly an indicator for liver transplantation. The total burden of disease due to NASH will likely rise for the next 15 years.

Achieving a sustained virologic response (SVR) is expected to benefit nearly all persons with chronic HCV infection. Despite the recommendation for treatment of nearly all patients with HCV infection, it remains critical for clinicians to understand patient- and disease-related factors that place individuals at risk for HCV-related complications as well as for HCV transmission. It is important that clinicians recognize the unique dimensions of HCV disease and its natural history in these populations when considering HCV regimen options. These slides will use a case-based format to review the contemporary management of HCV infection before and after the cure in treatment-naïve and experienced patients with various comorbidities.
