Abstract

Accurate knowledge of individual hepatitis C virus (HCV) status is an important component of comprehensive health services for people who inject drugs (PWID). In this paper we compare the perceived HCV status of PWID in a longitudinal cohort study with their actual status, as verified by HCV-RNA testing. Methods. Participants who consented to blood testing at first follow up (352/688) were included. Self-reported HCV status (positive/negative/don t know), was compared with serology test results for participants
