“The introduction of the first point-of-care HCV RNA test in the U.S. is set to revolutionize hepatitis C elimination programs. Learn how this novel solution simplifies hepatitis C diagnosis into a single step, enabling same-day "test and treat" (TaT) in community settings, reducing loss to follow up, and expediting linkage to care. Join our experts as they explain how this game-changing solution can drive and enhance innovative models of care that reach more people, improve cure rates, decrease onward transmission, and ultimately accelerate the elimination effort.

Learning Objectives: 1.) Explain how the new test changes the hepatitis C diagnosis pathway 2.) Describe how the test can be implemented in community settings to overcome the major challenges facing hepatitis C elimination programs 3.) Outline the impact of a rural community "test and treat" program”
