Conclusions
VIRAL HEPATITIS B
In conclusion, this RCT demonstrates the effectiveness of HCV self-testing in substantially increasing HCV testing uptake among people of higher and lower HCV risk in China. As the WHO has set the goal of eliminating viral hepatitis by 2030, scaling-up HCV self-testing among the at-risk population could play an important role in achieving this ambitious target. Future studies on optimized linkages are warranted to ensure that all men performing HCV self-testing receive timely access to HCV confirmatory testing and treatment services.
