Sydney Sexual Health Centre

Today is World Hepatitis Day. This episode explores the exciting news that there is now a cure for Hepatitis C. Though there is still a long way to go to reach NSW Health's goal of eliminating Hep C by 2028. I'm joined by Hepatitis nurse Dianne How-Chow; Scott, who underwent a liver transplant operation and is now cured of Hep C; and Coordinator of the Dried Blood Spot Testing program, Nigel Carrington.
