Description

The field of HCV has changed perhaps faster than any other field in medicine.

The Guest Editors have strived to create an issue that is a state-of-the-art analysis of solutions to specific challenges faced in the United States and globally in implementing HCV elimination strategies.

They believe that clinicians now have the tools and road maps needed to accomplish this goal.
