- W2022024489 abstract "Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, a major problem worldwide, is usually transmitted parenterally or by use of contaminated needles among intravenous-drug users (IVDU). In a cross-sectional study, demographic data were collected and behaviour patterns investigated in interviews with 453, consenting IVDU. Blood samples were collected from each interviewee and checked for anti-HCV antibodies and, in a PCR-based assay, for the RNA of HCV. Almost all (92.5%) of the IVDU investigated were found positive for anti-HCV and/or the viral RNA. Most (73.5%) of those positive for HCV RNA were found to be infected with genotype 3a alone, the rest being infected with 1b (17.9%), 6a (3.5%), 3b (1.4%), 1a (1.0%), or both 3a and 6a (2.1%) or having non-typable infections (0.6%). Curiously, 26.0% of those who appeared seronegative for anti-HCV were positive for HCV RNA. The longer an interviewee had been using intravenous drugs, the more likely he or she was to be infected with HCV. Among the IVDU, the sharing of needles, syringes and/or other drug-related paraphernalia appeared to be the behaviour carrying the highest risk of HCV infection, giving an adjusted odds ratio and (95% confidence interval) of 4.84 (1.88-12.43). Programmes of needle and syringe exchange should probably be implemented among IVDU in Thailand and elsewhere, to slow the transmission of HCV." @default.
