Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) disproportionately affects people who inject drugs (PWID) worldwide. Despite carrying a high HCV burden, little is known about transmission dynamics in low- and middle-income countries. METHODS: We recruited PWID from Nairobi and coastal cities and towns of Mombasa, Kilifi, and Malindi in Kenya at needle and syringe programs. Next-generation sequencing data from HCV...
