A team of researchers across Yale School of Medicine (YSM) and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) has published a set of papers on innovations in patient care for those diagnosed with hepatitis C (HCV), who are also living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Health Promotion PracticeThe idea for the special edition series came about when the YSM and UTHSCSA teams were debriefing after the completion of a nearly five-year grant project that ended in March 2022. The grant was funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration Special Projects of National Significance and titled,"Curing Hepatitis C among People of Color Living with HIV.
Villanueva is a co-grantee, along with Waridibo Allison, MD, Ph.D., vice president of health policy and executive director of the Center for Health Policy at the University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth. In the U.S., a quarter of people who have HIV are also infected with hepatitis C. Villanueva explains that this is a disease of underserved individuals, particularly those who have a history of injection drug use and how the proverbial saying"it takes a village" applies to this group.
Since there are a multitude of reasons people may not be receiving treatment, the two teams from YSM and UTSA developed various approaches that reflect where patients are treated. For example, the challenges providers and patients face are different in Connecticut than in Texas. This is in part due to the size difference of the two states, demographic variations in the affected populations, and how the health systems are set up.

Researchers take another big step toward HIV cureToday, HIV can be managed with medical treatment. However, despite 40 years of intensive research, scientists have not yet succeeded in finding a cure for the disease. People with HIV experience a flare-up of the virus only a few weeks after stopping treatment. But now, an international team of researchers, led by scientists at Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital, may have moved another step closer to a medication-free existence for the millions living with HIV today.
