Acknowledgement
The International Antiviral Society–USA (IAS–USA) served as the collaborating partner for the HCV Guidance: Recommendations for Testing, Managing, and Treating Hepatitis C from the project’s inception in mid- 2013 through 2015. IAS-USA was responsible for managing the writing panel and the guidance development process. A representative from IAS–USA also served as a co-chair of the HCV Guidance Panel. Due to priorities related to their core mission, IAS-USA elected to end their relationship as collaborating partner on December 31. AASLD and IDSA recognize IAS-USA’s tremendous contribution to the HCV Guidance and the creation and maintenance of www.hcvguidelines.org. Special appreciation is extended to the following individuals for their outstanding service:
