Thanks @benjaminlinas.bsky.social — exciting work led by Roshni Singh demonstrates steeper increases in HCV screening in pregnant vs non pregnant women after guideline to screen all adults & each pregnancy — but still <40% of pregnant women screened. We need new strategies to reach & cure people 🔎📚🧐

We have work to do if we are going to eliminate HCV. Most women NOT screened for HCV, even when providers code their risk factors! Proud of my mentee, Rachel Epstein, and her mentee, Roshni Singh, for this work. FYI, join BU CHART and you could publish in JAMA too!
