ADAP (2015): 83%
NHAS goal by 2020: 80%
*2015 data are preliminary (do not include vital records or national death matches) data includes labs and services from CAREWare (all Ryan White services excluding Part A), AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), and Medicaid data sources.
**At least 1 care marker in a given year.
***Retained in care is defined as having 2 or more care visit (VL or CD4 test) at least 90 days apart in a given year. Thick orange includes ARV dispenses and if they were virally suppressed during the given year.
Legend: year shown refers to the year in which care measures were evaluated; cases were diagnosed and reported between the year prior.
Data Sources: enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System (eHARS) (data as of June 2013 and June 27, 2016), CAREWare ,

39. Viral Hepatitis Update
North Carolina DHHS HIV/STD Surveillance Unit

40. North Carolina Introduction
Between 2010 and 2016, there was a four fold increase in the number of acute cases of hepatitis C reported in North Carolina.
During this time frame, there is also a marked increase in acute hepatitis B cases reported in North Carolina.
Drug use is the main factor cited in both acute HBV and HCV cases reported.
CDC Vulnerability Study identified five counties at high risk for outbreak in North Carolina
NC estimates that there are upwards of 150,000 HCV-infected persons living in North Carolina.
The majority of these cases are reported in the western part of the state; however, some southeastern counties (New Hanover) are seeing marked increases in injection drug use.
Discuss vulnerability study and CD analysis to determine Reg 1-3, 8

44. Acute HCV Cases by Race/Ethnicity North Carolina 2012-2016*
Zack, note the increase among Hispanics here. Among people with HIV, Hispanic IDU have the worst care outcomes (lowest viral suppression). All indicates there is a population of Latino/a people who inject drugs that we need to be thinking about.

46. Hepatitis C Most commonly transmitted through injection drug use
75%‒85% of infected develop chronic illness
HCV is a viral infection most frequently transmitted through injection drug use.
Although can be acute and self-limiting, approximately 75%‒85% of infected people go on to develop chronic illness.
As seen in this CDC schematic, …develop chronic cirrhosis over a period of years, and …
Chronic HCV infection is the leading indication for liver transplants in the United States.
CDC, 2010

47. NC Hepatitis C: Test, Link, Cure (NC TLC)
Outreach:
Test high-risk populations for hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Vaccinate high-risk populations against hepatitis A/B.
Focused screening of high risk individuals through collaboration with the NC State Laboratory of Public Health (SLPH).
Surveillance:
Electronic Laboratory Reporting of Chronic HCV: January 1, 2017
Provider reporting of acute HCV
Receipt of Viral Hepatitis Surveillance Grant (1703) starting May, 2017
Of course IDU maybe appear to us as “unknown”

48. NC Hepatitis C: Test, Link, Cure (NC TLC)
Linkage to Care and Cure:
Hepatitis C Bridge Counselors
Link patient to first medical visit
Coordinate with SA/MH services
Expanded primary care capacity to treat HCV
Engagement of FQHCs and LHD providers
Academic Mentorship Program (CHAMP)
Clinical algorithm for evaluation, treatment and referral Impact
Of course IDU maybe appear to us as “unknown”

49. North Carolina Safer Syringe Initiative
(NC SSI)
25 active SEPs covering 30 counties, with individuals commuting from an additional 24 counties and out of state
Of course IDU maybe appear to us as “unknown”
*Residents from these counties without SEP coverage traveled to receive services in a SEP target county
