The Hepatitis C Task Force for Los Angeles County (HCTF) is a group of private and public agencies, advocates and concerned individuals working in partnership and collaboration to prevent the spread of hepatitis C and other viral hepatitis and to improve the quality of life of persons affected by hepatitis through education on risk factors, harm reduction and cure treatments. The HCTF advocates for individuals regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, age, national origin, familial status or disability.
