Return to Opioid Top-Level Strategy Map or Zoom Map (Expand Harm Reduction Practices Associated with Opioid Misuse)
Contents
Current Status
- Hep C virus (HCV) infections tripled between 2010 and 2015
- Substance abuse and infectious diseases shared common populations, risk factors, social determinants, and even contracting venues[1]
- There was little collaboration between programs that provided services to these populations[2]
- Methadone clinics would be optimal venues for service integration because these clinics serve a population that is 60% injection drug users; have medical staff performing brief health assessments for all new clients; and already have some infectious disease screenings in place, including routine tuberculosis testing and intermittent opt-in HIV testing[3]
- One study showed that 68% of opioid treatment programs nationwide had staff capacity for HCV testing, but only 33% actually offered on-site HCV testing[4]
- Awareness of HCV infection among this particular population may motivate them to reduce their consumption and hopefully high-risk behavior
Promising Programs
Texas Department of State Health Services
[1]
Philly Website
phillyhepatits.org is an example of a resource for people seeking to identify if they have hepatitis, next steps they can take, and where they can find care or assistance.
TLC Awareness Campaign
"Test, Listen, Cure" (TLC) Hepatitis C Community Awareness Campaign provides information about how HCV infection is transmitted, risk factors for the disease, the importance of screening and treatment, and the availability of improved treatment for the disease.
