Hepatitis C prevalence in HIV-infected heterosexual men and men who have sex with men.

CONCLUSIONS: HCV prevalence in HIV-positive MSM is higher than previously appreciated or documented in SA. Risk factors include injection drug use, use of recreational drugs with sex, and sex with SWs. Targeted interventions are required to address this emerging challenge to achieve the viral hepatitis elimination ideal by 2030. PMID: 30004344 [PubMed - in process]
