The 20th Annual Lewis Landsberg Research Day. Thursday, September 10, 2026.
“Right now PCR tests in Nigeria, for instance, cost about $60 per test. And you can imagine that's unaffordable for most people. Removing the need for a return visit for PCR testing and getting that result on the same day would enable same-day treatment decisions, simplify the workload, reduce much of the cost and complexity of testing and get people linked to care much faster. This is critical in low- or middle-income countries, where the challenge is not just the slow turn around of PCR testing, but also lack of access. DASH HCV offers a much cheaper way of doing it.” — Claudia Hawkins, MD, MPH
