Target Audience

This program is intended for physicians, pharmacists, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals who provide care for patients with HBV infection or patients at risk for HBV/HDV infection.

Program Learning Goal

To improve rates of diagnosis for HDV by providing a simplified algorithm for screening for HBV that incorporates routine testing for delta coinfection and by encouraging systematic testing for delta among patients already diagnosed with HBV.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Implement screening practices within diverse healthcare settings to maximize identification of patients with HBV/HDV coinfection

  • Apply HBV and HDV algorithms that will minimize barriers to diagnosis

  • Ensure appropriate linkage to care for patients diagnosed with HDV infection
