Detailed Summary
The HOT (HCV One-step Test) Study is an observational prospective study to evaluate the use of a recently FDA-approved point-of-care RNA test for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a sample of clients of a syringe services program (SSP). The investigators aim to answer the following questions: 1\. How will point-of-care HCV RNA testing with the Xpert HCV test, provided at an SSP, affect how people who use drugs receive their results, get linked to HCV care services, and initiate and complete HCV treatment? 2: What are the most effective ways to implement point of care HCV RNA testing in syringe services programs?
Study Details
Timeline
Arms & Interventions
Participants of the syringe services program who will be offered point-of-care hepatitis C RNA testing will be adults 22 or older who do not already know they have HCV infection.
Interventions
Participants will receive point-of-care hepatitis C RNA testing using the GeneXpert IV Xpress System technology.
