Description
Background: Injecting drugs substantially increases the risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and is common in vulnerable population groups, such as the homeless and prisoners. Capturing accurate data on relative genotype distribution within these groups is essential to inform strategies to reduce HCV transmission. The aim of this study was to utilize a next-generation whole-genome sequencing method recently validated by Public Health England, in order to produce near complete HCV genomes.
This questionnaire was provided to all individual who consented for their participation to the study.
