Hepatitis C Virus Testing and Linkage to Care in North Carolina and South Carolina Jails, 2012-2014.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that HCV testing, identification of infection, and linkage to care are feasible among jail populations. The rate of anti-HCV positivity was lower than that found in national studies of incarcerated populations, suggesting that HCV infection prevalence in jails may vary across U.S. states or regions.
