Providing equitable access to HCV screening and links to treatment enabling and empowering our communities in providing health access by friendly faces from familiar places
Kaiawhina or peer-led HCV antibody Point of Care Testing (POCT) is largely an uncoordinated and unregulated exercise, largely by people with lived & living experience of HCV including injecting illicit drugs. Their skills, knowledge and expertise are unrecognised, leading to a disconnect between practice and positive outcomes, e.g., identifying HCV exposed wai ora (those seeking wellness), and integration with diagnosis, treatment and cure. We can change that.
