Case series of hepatitis C virus infection among HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users: incidence and behavioural characteristics
The incidence of AHC among PrEP users is not negligible and most cases reported substance use and sexual practices such as condomless sex and group sex. These findings highlight the need to reinforce systematic screening in this key population and adopt a multidisciplinary approach for an effective response.
