Enhancing Hepatitis C Testing and Treatment Among People Who Inject Drugs Attending Needle and Syringe Programs

This project aims to evaluate two strategies of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing compared to standard of care among people who inject drugs at needle and syringe program (NSP) services in Australia, to see if it can improve the number of people who start treatment following an HCV diagnosis: 1. HCV testing from collected dried blood spots sent to a central laboratory 2. HCV testing using a point-of-care device at the NSP site 3. HCV testing using standard of care at the NSP site
