People who use drugs (PWUD) represent an active reservoir of HCV infection. The prevalence of chronic HCV infection in PWUD in Italy is unknown due to the lack of systematic screening. Thanks to direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), hepatitis C can now be cured in most patients. Thus, the next challenge is to provide linkage-to-care for these patients.

Abstract
People who use drugs (PWUD) represent an active reservoir of HCV infection. The prevalence of chronic HCV infection in PWUD in Italy is unknown due to the lack of systematic screening. Thanks to direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs), hepatitis C can now be cured in most patients. Thus, the next challenge is to provide linkage-to-care for these patients.File in questo prodotto:
