Since its launch in 2005, the European Liver Patients’ Association (ELPA) has worked to promote the interests of people with all forms of liver disease. Despite improvements in medical treatment, and despite the recent publication of WHO guidelines for screening, the overall situation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission in Europe is a growing concern for ELPA. Many patients who are infected...
BACKGROUND People who inject drugs (PWID) in Thailand reported unsafe injection practices resulting in injection-related health consequences. Harm reduction self-efficacy plays an important role and could be improved to reduce harm associated with injecting drugs. Evidence-based interventions targeting PWID are needed. This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the behavior change inter...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antiviral treatment for people who inject drugs (PWID) could prevent onwards transmission and reduce chronic prevalence. We assessed current PWID treatment rates in seven UK settings and projected the potential impact of current and scaled-up treatment on HCV chronic prevalence. Data on number of PWID treated and sustained viral response rates (SVR) were collected from s...
INTRODUCTION Current estimates suggest an HIV prevalence of 42% among people who inject drugs (PWIDs) in Dar es Salaam, while HIV prevalence is estimated to be 8.8% among the general population in the city. To address the HIV epidemic in this population, the government of Tanzania began establishing HIV prevention, treatment and care services including outreach and medication assisted treatment...
Abstract Background People who inject drugs (PWID) suffer high morbidity and mortality from injection related infections (IRI). The inpatient setting is an ideal opportunity to treat underlying substance use disorder (SUD), but it unclear how often this occurs. Objectives To quantify the utilization of behavioral health services for PWID during admissions IRI. Methods Data all hospital in Flori...
BACKGROUND HIV prevalence is high in Liangshan, China (1.1 %). In 2012, people who inject drugs (PWID) in Xichang, the capital city, contributed to 60.0 % of the HIV infections. The goal of the current study was to examine the feasibility of implementing pharmacy-delivered harm reduction services (PDHRS) for PWID. METHODS Face-to-face structured interviews with 403 PWID included questions on ...
H epatitis C virus (HCV) affects 170 million people worldwide and causes significant morbidity and mortality. In high-income countries, people who inject drugs (PWID) are at greatest risk of HCV infection. Until recently HCV eradication seemed unlikely, but recent advances in HCV treatment and improved understanding of the effectiveness of harm-reduction intervention effectiveness give reason f...
BACKGROUND Although people who inject drugs (PWID) are an important group to receive Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antiviral therapy, initiation onto treatment remains low. Concerns over reinfection may make clinicians reluctant to treat this group. We examined the risk of HCV reinfection among a cohort of PWID (encompassing all those reporting a history of injecting drug use) from Scotland who achie...
