Abstract

Direct-acting antiviral agents have substantially improved the rate of sustained virologic response and safety in the treatment of hepatitis C. However, concerns about the long-term outcomes for individuals who achieve sustained virologic response still exist. Herein, we propose a new conceptual model for redefining the goals and strategies of ongoing hepatitis C elimination campaigns.
