Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is hyperendemic in drug injectors, yet social structural and behavioral factors underlying transmission are not well established. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study of HCV seroconversion in drug injectors, focusing on transmission within networks. Incident case subjects (n=17) and seronegative control subjects (n=42) reported injection and sex partners and referred as...
