Unveiling the dynamics of hepatitis C virus transmission among injection drug users and men who have sex with men: A comprehensive study in Japan
The findings suggest that the transmission route in PWID is determined by MSM status, whereas MSM groups showed the same transmission route regardless of PWID. HCV control measures should be focused not only on PWID, but also on MSM to achieve HCV elimination in Japan.
