Hepatitis C affects many millions of people worldwide and is at very high prevalence among people who inject drugs. In our study of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the social networks of injecting drug users (IDUs), five IDUs with injecting careers of 9 years or more were HCV antibody and RNA negative. All injected frequently with HCV RNA-positive IDUs, and two had recently injected with the syringe of an RNA-positive IDU. Our data suggest the existence of immune protection from HCV infection.
丙型肝炎影响着全球数百万人，在注射吸毒者中患病率极高。在我们对注射吸毒者社交网络中的丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）进行的研究中，五名有9年或更长时间注射史的注射吸毒者HCV抗体和RNA均为阴性。他们都经常与HCV RNA阳性的注射吸毒者一起注射，其中两人最近还用一名RNA阳性注射吸毒者的注射器进行了注射。我们的数据表明存在针对HCV感染的免疫保护。
