Note: maternal participants can participate in research studies that include standard of care medications.  Exclusion Criteria:  Participant report of any of the following at screening or enrollment:  Previous DAA treatment for HCV (prior interferon-based treatment is acceptable) without documentation of SVR12 (HCV RNA below the lower limit of quantification at least 24 weeks after DAA initiation) Use of any medications contraindicated with concurrent use of velpatasvir or sofosbuvir according to the most current EPCLUSA® package insert30 Plans to relocate away from the study site area in the next 16 months and unable/unwilling to return for study visits History of cirrhosis documented or reported by previous liver biopsy, imaging tests or on at least 2 noninvasive laboratory tests of fibrosis, including compensated cirrhosis Reports participating in any other research study involving investigational medications or investigational medical devices within 60 days or less prior to enrollment (does not include research studies involving standard of care medications) Known fetal chromosomal abnormality prior to enrollment (confirmed by chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis) Clinically significant and habitual non-therapeutic drug use, not including marijuana, as determined by site PI at screening and enrollment At screening and enrollment, as determined by site PI, any significant, uncontrolled, active or chronic cardiovascular, renal, liver, hematologic, neurologic, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, endocrine, respiratory, immunologic disorder or infectious disease other than HCV (or HIV as outlined in eligibility criteria)  Any of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening:  Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal Hemoglobin less than 9 g/dL Platelet count less than 90,000 per mm3 International normalized ratio (INR) > 1.5 Creatinine greater than 1.4 If living with HIV, CD4 count less than 200 cells/mm3 within 6 months of enrollment. Any other condition that, in the opinion of the site PI/designee, would preclude appropriate informed consent, make study participation unsafe, complicate interpretation of study outcome data, or otherwise interfere with achieving study objectives.
