Scaling up screening and diagnostics for HCV
using the HIV programs
- Access to reliable epidemiological data
- Access to HCV screening & diagnostic
- Who is the most at risk?
- Access to HCV treatments in 2014 in
LMIC?

Global Prevalence of Hepatitis C
New HCV /HIV epidemiological data.
Center for Disease Analysis 2013
www.aids2014.org
Access to HCV screening: a game
changer
• Globally, 59% of the world’s population has no access to
hepatitis C diagnosis. Dx using serology is available in 53% of
lower middle income countries, and 11% of low income
countries ( WHA report 2010).
• HCV Scan (EY laboratories) sensibility: 100%, specificity:
93.7% ( WHO 2001) or HCV Spot (MP Medicals) : average
price 1-4 eur per test
• MSF recommends OraQuick (Orasure, USA): Best and most
up to date performance but 10-12x more expensive than other
RDTs.( 14 euros/test) (sensibility: 99.2%, specificity: 99.8% ( Lee
2010) Can be done on whole blood (e.g finger prick) or oral fluid.
( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014)
• Limited evidence on the accuracy of HCV RDTs in HIV/HCV
coinfection. ( Shivkumar Ann Intern Med 2012)( Smith J Itl Dis 2011)
www.aids2014.org
Primary prevention /HCV
transmission
• Blood to blood contact.
• Transmission in developed countries:
– 90% chronic HCV infection were infected through transfusion of
unscreened blood ( Alter JAMA 1990)
– Or sharing contaminated needles or other drug injection
equipment ( Villano SA, Drug and Alcohol Dependance 2009).HCV
seroprevalence among drug users ( IDU) : 60% (Nelson PK, Lancet 2011)
– Less commonly HCV is transmitted by sexual contact with an
infected person, including MSM, or birth to an infected mother.(
Wandeler G CID 2013)
• In developing countries:
– the primary sources of HCV infection are unsterilized injection
equipment and infusion of inadequately screened blood and blood
product .

MSF UNITAID HIV-HCV grant
HCV public health problem, prevalence HCV –HIV co-infection
• 52.3% HCV-HIV co-infected patients in NE
India
• 67.2% in IDU in Iran
• 10.3% in Nairobi, Kenya
• 15.7% in Mozambique
• 29% in North Myanmar
• 53.3% among IDU in Ukraine

Who is the most at risk?preliminary
investigation
• India: transgender people, people using drugs (IDU)
• Myanmar: Migrants, IDU
• Ukraine: prisoners, complex HIV patients , MDRTB,
TB patients, men who have sex with men ( MSM)
• Iran: Commercial sex workers (CSW) and partners,
IDU
• Mozambique &Kenya: IDU, CSW?, blood recipient,
invasive medical dental surgical procedure, tattoos,
health care workers, prisoners, mobile populations (
migrant workers, miners)
• Need to investigate patterns of transmission at country
level , collect epidemiological datas
www.aids2014.org
HCV confirmation test: Detection of
HCV RNA
• HCV PCR is the most common method to detect viral RNA. It is
also used to quantify the virus for treatment monitoring
purpose. Usually: Abbott, Roche, Siemens quantitative VL.
• HCV PCR is hardly accessible and costs >=100 USD per test.
• We need affordable :
– POC HCV Viral load : pipeline Wave 80, Alere, Cepheid, IQuum,
Daktari.
– Flexible PCR platforms ( Multitest: HBV-HIV-HCV) like Sacace
generic open platform test, or Qiagen. ( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014)
Prohibitive Costs: Georgia: serology+ PCR RNA HCV+
genotype=USD135
Nigeria, India: package=500 USD
www.aids2014.org
3. Genotyping & Fibrosis evaluation
• The required length of peg-IFN-ribavirin treatment, or
oral treatments, and the expected outcome from
treatment, is dependent on the HCV genotype.
• Tests, using a range of different technologies:
– Abbott , Roche, Siemens tests
– Sacace: generic open platform test (real time PCR)
– Pipeline point-of-care test: Wave80
 New oral drugs will allow for simplification , if we have
access to pan-genotypic treatment then genotyping may
not be needed
 Liver fibrosis can be assessed at field level using
Transient elastography: Fibroscan, or serum biomarkers
like APRI( Lin ZH. Hepatol 2011) ( WHO HCV Guidelines 2014).
www.aids2014.org
Treatment should be simple, highly effective, pan-genotypic, potent, at
affordable cost, easy to take ( MSF HCV landscape analysis 2014)

Sovaldi : 84 000 USD for 12 weeks USA, 56 000 euros for 12 weeks in France
France, 1700 dollars in Egypt.

Gilead Access program : 60 countries belong to the lowest tiered pricing category, price
negotiations for sofosbuvir ‘s price start at 300 - 350 USD per bottle of 28 tablets 900 –
1000 USD for 12 weeks . ( Gilead PR, February 2014)
(there is also a compassionate use program)
If you need to buy peginterferon: Merck: negotiate the Egyptian price: 40 USD per vial,
including ribavirin!
If you need to buy ribavirin to combine to sofosbuvir: Zydus: minimal quantity 750,000
caps, price per caps: 0.30 USD.
www.aids2014.org
Best price!
• ribavirine zydus price: 0.30 usd per caps.
1 caps= 200mg, daily dose average 1000 mg if <75 kg = 5 caps
so 12 weeks tt will cost : 126 usd
24 weeks tt will cost 252 usd
best price :
• 12 weeks sofosbuvir + ribavirine = 1000 +
126 = 1126 usd
12 weeks sofosbuvir+ ribavirine + pegifn =
1000+126+500 = 1626 usd
24 weeks sofosbuvir + ribavirine = 2000 +
252 = 2252 usd

BUNDLE OF CARE COSTS- A. HILL-
www.aids2014.org
Interventions to overcome access
barriers to HCV treatment
• Access to reliable epidemiological data , investigation of the
patterns of transmission.
• Access to reliable and affordable diagnostics ( WHO prequalified, rapid diagnostic tests, multi-analytic PCR platforms ,
Point of Care HCV viral load).
• Access to care without discrimination, including people who
use drugs.
• Demonstration projects: performance & feasibility at large
scale, simplification, task shifting, training, including
screening-prevention-harm reduction-treatment in different
epidemiological contexts.
• Free generic competition
• Goal: diagnostic –treatment package< 500 USD per cure.
