About Hepatitis C Virus (HCV):

Over 5 million people in the United States are infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Baby boomers (those born between 1945 and 1965) and persons with mental health and substance use disorders face an increased risk for infection, yet many are unaware of their status. The Pacific Southwest ATTC is part of HCV Current, a national ATTC Regional Center initiative to increase the knowledge and capacity of medical and behavioral health professionals to treat persons with HCV. HCV Current offers online and in-person training, downloadable provider tools, and region-specific resources. To learn more about the national initiative, visit the ATTC Network HCV Current page.

HCV Resources in HHS Region 9:

In addition to the resources offered by the national HCV Current initiative, the Pacific Southwest ATTC has compiled a list of HCV regional contacts equipped to assist medical and behavioral health professionals. Each state has a Viral Hepatitis Prevention Coordinator funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These CDC Coordinators, as well as other key regional contacts, are listed by state below.
