Reflex Hepatitis C Virus Viral Load Testing Following an Initial Positive Hepatitis C Virus Antibody Test: A Global Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Many people who have a positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody (Ab) test never receive a confirmatory HCV RNA viral load (VL) test. Reflex VL testing may help address this problem. We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of reflex VL testing compared with standard nonreflex approaches on outcomes across the HCV care cascade.

Training the healthcare workforce: the global experience with telementorship for hepatitis B and hepatitis C - BMC Health Services Research
In total, 18 telementorship programmes, 6 in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (Pakistan [n = 3]; Republic of Georgia [n = 2]; Egypt [n = 1]), 3 in the South-East Asia Region (India [n = 3]), 1 in the Western Pacific Region (Australia [n = 1]), 1 in the Africa Region (South Africa [n = 1]), and 7 in the Region of the Americas (Brazil [n = 1]; Argentina [n = 2]; Canada [n = 3]; U.S. [n = 1]), (Fig. 1), were sent a weblink to the online telementorship programme survey.

Decentralisation, integration, and task-shifting in hepatitis C virus infection testing and treatment: a global systematic review and meta-analysis
Summary Background Increasing access to hepatitis C virus (HCV) care and treatment will require simplified service delivery models. We aimed to evaluate the effects of decentralisation and integration of testing, care, and treatment with harm-reduction and other services, and task-shifting to non-specialists on outcomes across the HCV care continuum.
