Active and resolved HCV infections among people with new HIV-1 diagnoses in Germany, 2009–2019
The proportion of resolved HCV infections among people newly diagnosed with HIV-1 increased after the introduction of DAAs in Germany. The high prevalence and the low proportion of resolved HCV infections reveal that unmet diagnostic and therapeutic needs exist among PWIDs. The higher proportion of active and resolved cases among individuals of non-German origin particularly requires greater public health attention.
