Following the plenary on Hepatitis C and HIV co-infection, this session will bring together government officials, treatment activists and community leaders from four continents to discuss specific strategies to improve hepatitis C diagnostics and treatment access for people with HIV-coinfection and monoinfection. Speakers will give a brief presentation followed by an interactive panel discussion. Specific aims will address strategies to reduce the price of hepatitis C treatment, approaches to mobilize large numbers of people - including those who inject drugs - to fight for access to treatment and diagnostics, and strategies to build movements uniting community activists, clinicians, government officials and international organizations. Additionally, panelists will discuss ways in which the HIV movement can be adapted to HCV activism and ways to ensure that access to HCV testing and treatment become standard components of comprehensive care packages for IDUs.
