• Abstract:

  Background

  Despite being a high risk group for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, people who inject drugs (PWID) do not engage with health services. Increasing the awareness of HCV testing and the new direct acting antivirals (DAA) could increase self-referral of PWIDs to Substance Misuse Services (SMS).

  Methods

  1. Pharmacies in Brighton and Hove
