What this Trial Is About
Researchers are conducting a national, prospective, multicenter, non-interventional pilot project to screen for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among people who inject drugs (PWID) in the Czech Republic. The main goal is to prepare, implement, and assess a method for early detection of Hepatitis C and to develop new procedures for integrating this screening into social health care systems. This project aims to help prevent further transmission of the virus by improving early diagnosis and care continuity.
