Editorial to Martinello et al.'s HCV HCV reinfection incidence among individuals treated for recent infection

摘要

Summary Reinfections with the hepatitis C virus have been described in subgroups with ongoing risk‐behaviour, in particular in people who infect drugs (PWID) or men who have sex with men (MSM). In this article by Martinello and colleagues describe a reinfection incidence of 7.4 per 100 person years (95% CI 4.0‐13.8), mainly in HIV‐infected MSM who are also injecting drug users. A specific risk behavious counselling is mandatory in this setting.
