A Bundled Rapid HIV/HCV Testing Intervention to Increase Receipt of Test Results
Completed · Phase 2/Phase 3
Conditions studied: Substance-related Disorders
In brief
This is a randomized controlled clinical trial in which adults receiving drug abuse treatment will be recruited to participate in a HIV and hepatitis C (HCV) testing study. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of two HIV/HCV testing strategies on increasing receipt of test results: (1) on-site bundled rapid HIV/HCV testing (i.e., joint offer of HIV and HCV at the point of encounter), and (2) standard of care for HIV and HCV testing.
