Melbourne, John Wiley and Son, 2025. 8p.

Universal screening of HBsAg-positive patients identified 11% more anti-HDV-positive patients in comparison to the AASLD-supported high-risk-only screening recommendations. Due to the paramount importance of HDV detection, universal HDV screening in HBsAg-positive patients is encouraged.

Melbourne, John Wiley and Son, 2025. 13p.

People infected with both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis Delta virus (HDV) face a higher mortality risk than those mono-infected with HBV.

Rights & social inclusion

Why decriminalisation isn’t a magic bullet...

Zurich, INHSU, 2025. Webpage.

Sydney, Kirby Institute, 2024. 96p

This enhanced report is the first to specifically endeavour to report on BBVs and STIs among people from CALD backgrounds.

Understanding stigma and attitudes towards hepatitis B among university students in Australia of Chinese and Vietnamese background

Explores the attitudes and beliefs, including stigma, about hepatitis B among students of Vietnamese and Chinese background in Australia. Students provide a point of entry to communities with high prevalence of hepatitis B, that otherwise may be hard to access.

Understanding hepatitis C virus (HCV) health literacy and educational needs among people in prison to enhance HCV care in prisons

London, Elsevier, 2024. 8p.

A targeted HCV education program for people in prison, addressing the gaps identified in this analysis, may enhance HCV testing, treatment, and prevention by fostering stronger HCV health literacy among people in prison.

Quick, simple, and friendly: understanding the acceptability and accessibility of a nurse and peer-led, mobile model of hepatitis C care adjacent to community corrections in Australia

London, Elsevier, 2025. 8p.

Feasibility study of point-of-care hepatitis C testing and rapid treatment initiation delivered adjacent to community corrections settings via a mobile, nurse and peer-led, low-threshold model of care.

Disease progression and treatment need in sub-genotype C4 hepatitis B infection: a retrospective cohort study in the Northern Territory, Australia

London, Springer Nature, 2025. 11p.

In the Northern Territory (NT), First Nations people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are infected with a unique sub‐genotype, C4, which contains mutations linked to progressive fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This cohort study aimed to investigate disease progression in C4 sub‐genotype infection and estimate how many untreated individuals may benefit from antiviral therapy with broadening treatment indications. Only 6·7% of untreated individuals were treatment eligible under current guidelines. Using the 2024 World Health Organisation guidelines, this increased to 50% due mostly to fibrosis and population prevalence of diabetes.

 

Development of an evidence-based hepatitis C education program to enhance public health literacy in the Australian prison sector: the Hepatitis in Prisons Education program

London, Elsevier, 2024. 11p.

A suite of multi-modal resources addressing the perceived gaps in HCV health literacy was developed, with a broad theme of ‘Let's talk about hep C’. Peer education delivery was considered a key facilitator for custodial officers and people in prison.

A pre-post study of the impact of a multidisciplinary model of care on linkage to hepatitis C care following release from prison: the Beyond Prison Walls study

London, Elsevier, 2025. 12p.

A multidisciplinary model of care increased linkage to HCV care among untreated individuals released from prison. Future interventions should support similar models, leveraging social support networks to maximize continuity of care.
