Hep C testing rates need to rise 50% to hit Aussie elimination target
Testing rates have declined at an alarming rate, say researchers
Australia will fail to meet global hepatitis C virus elimination targets over the next decade unless testing for the virus in at-risk populations is increased by 50%, new modelling shows.
Researchers at the Burnet Institute, in Melbourne, say their findings contrast with previous models, which suggested the country was on track to achieve the WHO’s 2030 targets.
