Summary
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of a model of hepatitis C screening and integrated
care, targeting people who inject drugs (PWIDs) in Hai Phong, Vietnam. In a wider
perspective, this model linked to mass screening through repeated Respondent Driven Sampling
(RDS) surveys, to simplified treatment protocol, and to large community-based support to
improve referral to care, retention in care, adherence to treatment and prevention of
reinfection, may have the potential to eliminate HCV among PWIDs in this city.
