Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States. The most common risk factor for hepatitis C is injection drug use, particularly among persons 18 to 30 years of age. Injection drug users (IDUs), who are the primary risk group for acute hepatitis C (60-70% of identified acute cases), have additional barriers to health care access and/or utilization resulting in the potential for a further underestimation of overall incidence. The purpose of this study is to pilot test three methods of recruiting 18-30 year old IDUs in San Diego for a behavioral risk assessment interview and serologic testing for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in order to determine the optimal method for ongoing national hepatitis C surveillance.
