A quasi-markov model for transmission and disease elimination: Hepatitis C among people who inject drugs
Background: The use of mathematic modeling to better understand the spread of Hepatitis C and the impact of interventions can be invaluable for localities, states and countries with a large burden of injection drug use. New York State (NYS) is estimated to be home to a large number of people who inject drugs (PWID), however the burden of hepatitis C among this population and the impact of inter...
متن کاملModelling the impact of incarceration and prison-based HCV treatment on HCV transmission among people who inject drugs in Scotland
Background and Aims People who inject drugs (PWID) experience high incarceration rates, and previous incarceration is associated with elevated hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission risk. In Scotland, national survey data indicate lower HCV incidence in prison than the community (4.3 versus 7.3 per 100 person-years), but a 2.3-fold elevated transmission risk among recently released (< 6 months) P...
متن کاملHCV in people who inject drugs: a neglected epidemic.
Despite the serious health implications of hepatitis C virus (HCV), especially in the context of concurrent HIV infection, its prevention and management has not been a national health priority in India. With the advent of highly effi cacious direct acting antiviral drugs for HCV that can be administered orally once daily, and activism around the reduction of treatment costs, HCV treatment might...
متن کاملElimination of hepatitis C virus infection among people who inject drugs through treatment as prevention: feasibility and future requirements.
The demonstration that antiretroviral treatment is effective for the prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission has important implications for HCV prevention. HCV therapeutic development is advancing rapidly, with effective, simplified regimens available in the near future. In contrast to HIV, HCV treatment is both curative and circumscribed in duration-2 features that hold g...
متن کاملCo-infections and transmission networks of HCV, HIV-1 and HPgV among people who inject drugs
Co-infections with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human pegivirus (HPgV) are common in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected individuals. However, analysis on the evolutionary dynamics and transmission network profiles of these viruses among individuals with multiple infections remains limited. A total of 228 injecting drug users (IDUs), either HCV- and/or HIV-1-infected, were recru...
