Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A clinical observational study for patients with HIV co-infected with hepatitis C that investigates the levels of their health literacy, hepatitis C and HIV knowledge. Participants will complete a one-time assessment of these studied domains and categorized in three groups defined by their hepatitis C treatment referral status: not-referred, referred-attended, referred and no-show.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main purpose of this research study is to investigate the prevalence of inadequate health literacy and hepatitis C knowledge and their determinants among people living with HIV/AIDS co-infected with hepatitis C. The observation will determine if health literacy and/or hepatitis C knowledge are predictors of patient willingness and intention to be treated for HCV in the overall cohort and stratified according to study groups as noted above.
