Hepatitis C Reinfection | Risks and Realities

A person can get hepatitis C again if they are exposed to the virus after they are cured with treatment or have cleared the virus on their own. This is called reinfection. Reinfections follow the same principles as a primary (first) hepatitis C infection — they are transmitted through blood-to-blood contact (e.g., sharing equipment for injecting drugs) and are cured through treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs).

Canada doubles resettlement spaces for human rights defenders

Human rights defenders (HRDs) are active in every part of the world and play an essential role in promoting and protecting human rights internationally. In many countries, HRDs are increasingly at risk of violence, often subject to threats and injustices, forced to flee their homes due to fear of attack and reprisal, and on occasion, unable to return to their home country.
