The Potential Reach of Opioid Substitution Settings to Deliver HCV Care to People Who Inject Drugs in Australia

摘要

Background: Recent efforts in Australia to engage people who inject drugs (PWID) in hepatitis C (HCV) care have focussed on opioid substitution treatment (OST) services as a delivery site. This approach potentially excludes non-opioid using PWID. This study aimed to determine differences between those currently receiving OST and those not among a sample of PWID.
