Hepatitis C Virus Micro-elimination Among People With HIV in San Diego: Are We on Track?, 2023.03.22,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad153 .
Rising incidence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) among people with HIV (PWH) in San Diego County (SDC) was reported. In 2018, the University of California San Diego (UCSD) launched a micro-elimination initiative among PWH, and in 2020 SDC launched an initiative to reduce HCV incidence by 80% across 2015–2030. We model the impact of observed treatment scale-up on HCV micro-elimination among PWH in SDC.

Lack of Hepatitis C Virus Elimination by 2030 in Los Angeles County at Current Treatment Rate, 2023.03.10,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad125 .
The time is now for the United States to go beyond testing and linkage to care and implement effective approaches that integrate publicly funded treatment activities to accelerate HCV elimination. Los Angeles County is primed for leveraging the existing case-reporting and public health management approach. Further investments and public health efforts are necessary; otherwise the goal of HCV elimination by 2030 will remain elusive.

Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women and nonpregnant women of reproductive-age in Jamaica, 2023.04.13,
https://doi.org/10.1093/ofid/ofad201 .
Pregnancy, low vaccine confidence, and government mistrust were associated with a lower likelihood of COVID-19 vaccination among reproductive-aged women in Jamaica. Future studies should evaluate the efficacy of strategies proven to improve maternal vaccination coverage, including standing “opt-out” vaccination orders and collaborative provider and patient-led educational videos tailored for pregnant individuals.
