650 participants were tested at 44 different locations. Overall, 44 (7%) were HCV-Ab positive and 12 (2%) were HCV-RNA positive. The prevalence of HCV-Ab was 12.5 % (41/327) in facilities targeting people with drug use and 1 % (3/256) in facilities restricted to psychiatric patients or/and alcohol users. Correspondingly, 89% (39/44) of HCV-Ab positives had injected drugs compared to 9% (57/606) of HCV-Ab negatives. We found no infections (0/67) when testing in the general population (i.e. at markets).In total 93% (41/44) of those with positive HCV antibodies had been tested before. 7 of 12 HCV RNA positive have been treated. Of those 5 have achieved SVR12 and two are still pending results. 2 are lost to follow-up, 1 cleared infection, 1 moved out of region and one is under assessment.
