The Need
Simplification of the diagnostic pathway to improve linkage to care
- Until now, confirmation of a positive antibody-based test requires venepuncture, preparation and transport of blood specimens, laboratory expertise, and days/weeks to obtain results.4
- A final diagnosis of active HCV infection may require up to 5 visits.3
- A simple one-step pathway, with a fast RNA diagnostic at the point of care, may have the potential to simplify testing algorithms, increase diagnosis rates, and lead to increased linkage to care.
