- W4293491635 abstract "People who inject drugs (PWID) constitute a population group with a high hepatitis C virus (HCV) burden. With the objectives of assessing the HCV prevalence in PWID and determining the proportion requiring treatment who could be linked to care, this study piloted onsite reflex HCV testing at low threshold methadone clinics, with prompt referral of HCV RNA-positive participants for treatment.This was a prospective study on methadone clinic attendees in Hong Kong. Questionnaires were completed, finger-prick anti-HCV rapid testing was performed, and positive blood samples were collected for laboratory HCV RNA testing. The proportions of participants along the cascade of HCV care were calculated.In 2021-2022, after 14 evening screening sessions at three methadone clinics, 86 of 354 regular attendees (24%) were recruited. The anti-HCV prevalence was 63% (54/86, 95% confidence interval 52-73%), with 78% (42/54) testing positive for HCV RNA and 79% (33/42) successfully referred. Almost all (31/33) referred participants received direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment, 94% (29/31) with full treatment compliance; 55% (16/29) of these compliant participants achieved a sustained virological response, while the remainder had not received post-treatment testing.The use of a simplified testing algorithm in the setting of substitution treatment services, incorporating reflex HCV testing, could be an effective strategy for contributing towards the micro-elimination of HCV in PWID." @default.
