Alaska ID ECHO: HCV-HIV-PrEP-STIs

Learn together, care together.

Alaska ID ECHO aims to increase Tribal health care providers’ knowledge about prevention strategies, screening, diagnosing, treatment, and management of HCV, HIV, PrEP and common STIs.

This ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) is for Tribal and community primary care health providers, nurses, pharmacists, and behavioral health care providers in Alaska to learn best practices and gain competence and confidence in preventing HIV infection with PrEP, preventing HCV and STIs, and caring for Alaska Native/American Indian patients facing HCV-HIV-STI diagnoses.

Do you or your team have a patient case or question? Our ECHO consultant team includes hepatologists, infectious disease specialists, an HIV pharmacy specialist and addiction medicine specialist who are available to provide treatment input.
