Abstract
The article focuses on the evaluation of the Cherokee Nation Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Elimination Program in Oklahoma from 2015 to 2020, which aimed to improve HCV screening, treatment, and cure. Topics include the high rates of HCV infection among American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons, the progress made in diagnosing and linking individuals to HCV care, the lower-than-expected treatment initiation rates, and the need to address barriers to treatment initiation for HCV elimination.
