The effects of widespread methadone treatment on the molecular epidemiology of hepatitis C virus infection among injection drug users in Hong Kong.

Journal of medical virology - 1 Jul 2011

Chan Denise P C, Lee Shui Shan, Lee Krystal C K

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of HCV genotypes among injection drug users in Hong Kong was assessed in context of methadone treatment availability. Three time periods were defined by the year of initiating injection-on or before 1980, 1981-1994, and 1995-2006-with methadone becoming widely available since the second period. Of the 273 HCV RNA-positive cases, the most prevalent subtype was HCV 6a (52.4%), followed by HCV 1b...
