People with opioid use disorder frequently experience related infectious diseases, such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Because of the opioid epidemic, HCV disease burden is the highest amongst the population that uses injection drugs.Previous literature has described people with opioid use disorder considering opioid treatment programmes (OTPs) as comfortable and familiar environments with reduced stigma than is typically encountered in general society.We sought to understand the meaning of facilitated telemedicine for HCV integrated into OTPs from individuals who achieved an HCV cure. To gain insight into their experiences, we interviewed participants an average of 19 months after they achieved an HCV cure. By understanding the common meanings, shared practices, and practical advice related to the facilitated telemedicine model and an HCV cure, we seek to inform future clinical care and policy decisions related to HCV elimination.
