Greetings:

This week we have the following items that have been posted to the HCV and HBV Advocate Websites:

• A brochure called Adherence-Curing HCV—this new brochure discusses the importance of adherence in the new age of HCV direct-acting antivirals and it is available free of charge. You can order this and other Educational Materials here.
  
  
• Top Ten HCV Downloads—check out what others are downloading.  The top download is our Pruritus fact sheet followed by general information about HCV and the drug pipeline.
  
  
• Top Ten HBV Downloads includes fact sheets on interpreting HBV antibody, antigen and various viral load tests as well as information about which antiviral to start with first.
  
  
• Updated HCV Fact Sheets – we have recently completed reformatting and updating some of our fact sheets. Here are just a few:
  • Getting Disability Benefits
  • HCV & Native American Peoples
  • Patient Assistance Programs
  • Interferon, Ribavirin and HCV Protease Inhibitors
  
  
• Visit hepatitistattoos.org for more pictures of tattoos and the stories behind them.
