Hepatitis C Virus Infection: Looking Beyond the Interferon Alfa Era

IAS–USA has expanded its mission to include activities that relate to the management of viral infections other than HIV. The full-day course will focus on hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Rapid advances in treatment are anticipated with the introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) to the HCV treatment paradigm. With the projected large increase in the number of patients who will require HCV treatment in the near future, clinicians who are experts in the complexities of antiretroviral management are uniquely well positioned to join our hepatology and gastroenterology colleagues in providing care for these patients, in what promises to be an exciting new era in HCV care.
