Sponsor's own description
This study will integrate mobile hepatitis C virus (HCV) testing and treatment with expanded syringe access in order to improve uptake of HCV testing and treatment, and reduce syringe sharing behavior in rural northern New England. The intervention aims to reach rural opioid injectors with HCV and to fill service gaps identified around access to syringe services and HCV testing and treatment, while limiting the burden on local partners. If effective, this mobile model of HCV telehealth integrated with syringe services will provide a promising approach for local public health authorities seeking to curb opioid injection, syringe sharing and HCV rates in rural America, and reduce the risk environment for HIV outbreaks in those communities.
