Pregnancy is a time when women are uniquely motivated to engage in activities which are geared toward improvement of their own health and ensuring the health of their unborn child. As such, pregnant women have frequent prenatal care visits; and health care interventions, such as antiviral therapy and monitoring, can be easily integrated into the existing healthcare infrastructure of prenatal care. The benefits of HCV treatment are numerous, including prevention of severe liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, and liver transplantation, as well as improvements physical, emotional and social health. The most recent guidelines by the Infectious Disease Society of America recommend that all HCV-infected persons receive treatment. The antenatal period represents an ideal window of opportunity for treatment of HCV in pregnancy due to increased antenatal health care utilization and prevention of perinatal transmission of HCV to the infant.
