| Core Tip |
HCV infection has an incidence of 1.1%, reaching 60% in Italy among people who inject drugs. This paper reports the impact of our HCV-dedicated program to provide antiviral treatment to HCV patients with a history of substance abuse. 40 patients were treated with direct-acting antivirals: 38 were receiving opioid agonist maintenance therapy, and 4 had just finished this treatment. 37.5% had a history of alcoholism, and 42.5% received concomitant psychiatric treatment. The therapy cycle was completed in all patients, and 92.5% adhered to post-therapy controls. All patients were HCV RNA-negative at the end of treatment, with a sustained virological response of 92.5%. |
