Article Synopsis
- Ever MSM-IDU in San Francisco have a high burden of hepatitis C virus (HCV), and current testing and treatment efforts are crucial to meet the WHO's 2030 elimination target.
- A dynamic transmission model indicates that HCV incidence among this group could decrease by nearly 85% from 2015 to 2030, despite a significant drop in testing and treatment due to COVID-19 lockdowns.
- If HCV testing and treatment rates recover by 2022 or 2025, even greater reductions in HCV incidence are projected, supporting achievement of the WHO target for HCV elimination.
