Why HCV Is A Tractable Target For Eradication ? • No known non-human reservoir • There is no latent cellular reservoir • Pharmacologic treatment with direct acting antivirals can truly cure an infected person, treatment-based elimination is an option 5
Barriers To Elimination • Hepatitis C is generally asymptomatic both during the acute and chronic phase. • Heavy concentration of HCV infections in difficult-to reach populations, including people who inject drugs and the homeless, as <strong>we</strong>ll as marginalized groups such as the incarcerated. • The treatment cost is expensive. This expense raises concerns about the feasibility of widespread treatment • A prophylactic vaccine may be an essential missing piece of the effort to eliminate hepatitis C. • Reinfection is a possibility 6
