Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To understand the epidemiology and transmission patterns of hepatitis C virus (HCV), the predominant blood borne-pathogen infecting injection drug users (IDUs), in a part of the former Soviet Union. DESIGN: Cross-sectional respondent-driven sample of IDUs. SETTING: St Petersburg, Russia. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 387 IDUs were recruited in late 2005 and throughout 2006. MEASUREMENTS: Participants were...
