Correlates of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in the Targeted Testing Program of the New York City Jail System.
CONCLUSION: These data reveal differences in HCV infection by sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomics in a large jail population, suggesting that a focused public health intervention is required and that universal screening may be warranted. Further sensitivity and cost-benefit analyses are needed to make this determination.
