| Core Tip |
Many hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients worldwide are unaware of their infection status. The key to increasing HCV detection and linkage-to-care is augmentation of virus screening by primary care physicians (PCP). Understanding factors that promote HCV screening among PCP is crucial to its eradication. We assessed PCP knowledge of HCV natural history and treatment and awareness of screening recommendations. PCP knowledge of HCV natural history and prior management of HCV patients were important predictors of implementation of HCV screening. Comprehensive HCV education targeted to PCP, including screening recommendations, is critical to increase HCV detection and linkage-to-care to obtain global eradication. |
