Abstrakt:	The treatment and cure of hepatitis C (HCV) in people with HIV is particularly important as progression of their liver disease is quicker compared with those who have HCV monoinfection. Innovative approaches are needed to maximize access to curative HCV treatment. Integration of HCV care into HIV primary care with education and support of nonspecialist providers via telementoring offers a solution to specialist workforce shortages. Using focus group qualitative methodology, health care workers' perspectives regarding this approach, particularly with the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) telementoring model, were obtained and are described. Successful integration of HCV care into HIV primary care has demonstrated benefits to patients, including allowing them to remain in their medical home for care. Factors beyond disease that influence their health and wellbeing must also be considered.
