CDC's accelerated HCV diagnosis roadmap

Sep 30, 2025

The push for expedited diagnosis of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is gaining momentum. 

Driving the news: The CDC accepted comments on its new roadmap initiative for Hepatitis C diagnostics through September 24. Various stakeholders, including the CAP, provided input on the diagnosis of HCV infection.

Our take: The CAP agreed that accelerated testing for HCV will be beneficial and provided further recommendations, such as researching laboratory capabilities for molecular testing and improving access to approved point-of-care HCV RNA tests.
