Nurse Case Management to Improve Hepatitis C Care in HIV Co-infection
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV, Hepatitis C, Chronic
In brief
Effective all-oral medications are finally available to cure hepatitis C virus, which affects more than 4 million Americans and one-in-four people living with HIV. However, many barriers exist that prevent people with HIV/HCV co-infection from getting this curative treatment, including low knowledge, competing demands, and drug interactions with HIV medications. This study evaluates if a hepatitis C nurse case management intervention in an HIV primary care clinic will improve patient attendance to hepatitis C care and help people start hepatitis C treatment earlier. Half of the participants will receive brief case management with a nurse, while the other half will receive usual clinic care.
