One-step HCV RNA Testing Among SSP Participants (HOT Study)

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Testing Effect of Intervention

In brief

The HOT (HCV One-step Test) Study is an observational prospective study to evaluate the use of a recently FDA-approved point-of-care RNA test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a sample of clients of a syringe services program (SSP). The investigators aim to answer the following questions: 1\. How will point-of-care HCV RNA testing with the Xpert HCV test, provided at an SSP, affect how people who use drugs receive their results, get linked to HCV care services, and initiate and complete HCV treatment? 2: What are the most effective ways to implement point of care HCV RNA testing in syringe services programs?
