Abstract
Hepatitis C (HCV) management has dramatically changed with the advent of direct-acting antivirals. Their high efficacy and safety are changing the paradigm of detection and treatment of patients with an active HCV infection. Following the latest guidelines, the path to elimination of hepatitis C will be achieved by simplifying management.
