Bringing Hep C Treatment to the Streets | Vancouver News
Description
Health officials are racing to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2030, but for homeless individuals, treatment remains out of reach—until now. With no stable address, insurance, or safe place to store medication, accessing care is nearly impossible. Testing adds another layer: antibody tests stay positive forever, requiring a second test to confirm active infection. Often symptomless until it’s too late, Hepatitis C silently ravages lives already strained by survival. So, providers are bringing testing and treatment directly to encampments—meeting people where they are—to ensure this curable disease doesn’t go untreated.
