Initially, HCV Informatics (C-IT) will be used to filter the EMR data of the one million people who receive care at Mount Sinai and identify candidates for HCV testing (baby boomers, patients with HIV infection) and candidates for HCV treatment (patients with positive test results for HCV RNA and no record of treatment).once treatment candidates have been identified through this proactive approach, their providers will be directly notified. HCV champions and patient navigators will be used to further lower barriers to the delivery of HCV care. They will be co-located at non-hepatology care sites and will help deliver open-label HCV treatment as part of standard medical care to 500 HIV/HCV co-infected patients and 200 patients with type 2 diabetes.

Blood (10 mL) will be collected from 100 HIV/HCV coinfected patients before and after HCV cure. sCD163 will be measured using the human CD163 Quantkine ELISA kit from R and D systems. Blood (10 mL) will also be collected from up to 50 patients who fail therapy or become reinfected with HCV. The HCV RNA quasispecies will be analyzed using the deep sequencing methods. Serum will be saved for HIV/HCV Co-infected.

| HOMA-IR | Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Healthy Range: 1.0 (0.5-1.4) Less than 1.0 means insulin-sensitive which is optimal. Above 1.9 indicates early insulin resistance. Above 2.9 indicates significant insulin resistance. | 3 years |
| Number of resistance associated variant (RAV) | Resistance associated variant (RAV) testing from up to 50 patients who fail treatment or become re-infected | 3 years |
| FIB-4 score | The FIB-4 score of HCV positive patients with type 2 diabetes. The Fibrosis 4 score is a non-invasive scoring system based on several laboratory tests that help to estimate the amount of scarring in the liver.
