• The burden of HCV in many countries is driven by PWID and continues to grow
• Transmission of HCV continues among PWID
• Although HCV treatment uptake is low due to a number of barriers, treatment willingness is high among PWID
• HCV treatment is effective among PWID
• Strategies to enhance HCV assessment and treatment among PWID are required
Prevention, Treatment and Care of HCV among PWID
Issues

PWID are the core of the HCV epidemic and “ageing cohorts” of PWID will lead to considerable advanced liver disease burden

HCV is a major public health problem among PWID
Nelson PK, et al. Lancet 2011
• Global estimation: 10.0 million PWIDs (range 6.0–15.2) in 2010 were HCV antibody positive
• Global prevalence: 67.0%
Eastern Europe 2.3m
East and Southeast Asia 2.6m
North America 1.7m
Latin America 1.7m
Sub-saharan Africa0.8m

HCV transmission continues to occur among PWID
![Page 11: Prevention, Treatment and Care of Hepatitis C among People W ho I nject D rugs](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815e4f550346895dccc7b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Higher prevalence of HCV infection (67% vs. 20%)• Higher risk of infection (3-5% for HCV vs 1-2% for HIV)
Harm reduction interventions have been less effective for HCV
Mehta SH, Journal of Infectious Diseases 2011.

Interventions to prevent HCV among IDUs
• Opioid substitution therapy1-2
• High NSP coverage2
• Multiple combined interventions most effective2-3

HCV treatment uptake among people who inject drugs is low, due to a number of barriers at the levels of the system, provider and patient
