Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant public health problem that disproportionately afflicts people who inject drugs. We describe outcomes of HCV treatment co-located within a syringe services program (SSP). Fifty-three participants started therapy, and 91% achieved sustained virologic response. SSPs provide an effective venue for HCV treatment.
丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)是一个严重的公共卫生问题,对注射毒品者的影响尤为严重。我们描述了在注射器服务项目(SSP)中同时开展丙型肝炎病毒治疗的结果。53名参与者开始接受治疗,91%实现了持续病毒学应答。注射器服务项目为丙型肝炎病毒治疗提供了一个有效的场所。
