Does informing people who inject drugs of their hepatitis C status influence their injecting behaviour?
A small reduction in injecting frequency was observed in PWID who received a diagnosis of HCV. This finding should be investigated further in larger studies examining a wider range of injecting risk behaviours.
Implementation of HBS in the preoperative work-up led to a function oriented use of PVE and was associated with a significant decrease in postoperative LF and LF related mortality.
