Second Generation Direct-Antivirals for HCV in the Real World
Clinical trials of second generation direct-acting antivirals in HCV show high cure rates. But do those rates reflect real life?
What are HCV cure rates with second-generation direct-acting antivirals in difficult-to-treat populations, such as those with liver transplant or HIV coinfection?

IDWeek 2023: New Data Provide Closer Look at Real-World Utilization of Cabotegravir for HIV PrEP
October 15th 2023IDWeek 2023. New study found just slightly more than half of prescriptions for cabotegravir for HIV PrEP resulted in at least 1 injection, suggesting limitations in use and access to the injectable HIV integrase inhibitor.
