Measure
Adults Infected With HCV
Phase 1 (first 100 enrolled participants) HCV-infected adults with on-going injection drug use use with opioids with 3 months of screening Phase 2 (enrolled participants 101-198) HCV-infected adults with on-going opioid misuse of non-prescription opioids within twelve months of screening Evaluate model of care for HCV-infected adults with on-going opioid misuse: Participants will be treated with direct-acting antivirals per standard of care and will be concomittantly be offered PreP for HIV prevention and buprenorphine for treatment of opioid-use disorder when clinically indicated
