Description

In this episode, Oluwaseun Falade-Nwulia, MBBS, MPH, and a patient with previous injection drug use who has been cured of HCV infection discuss critical barriers that are preventing more people with current or previous injection drug use from receiving appropriate HCV care.This insightful discussion underscores the negative effects of stigma toward people who inject drugs that exist in many clinical settings, the important role that socioeconomic factors such as transportation access and stable housing play in preventing access to HCV care, the effects of insufficient staffing at many addiction treatment centers, and the need for creative solutions to overcome these barriers.Presenter:Oluwaseun Falade-Nwulia, MBBS, MPH  Associate ProfessorDivision of Infectious DiseasesJohns Hopkins University School of MedicineAttendingDivision of Infectious DiseasesJohns Hopkins HospitalBaltimore, MarylandContent based on an online CME program supported by independent educational grants from AbbVie and Gilead Sciences, Inc. and developed in collaboration with the American Liver Foundation.Link to full program:https://bit.ly/3KmJvZt
