Optimal Frequency of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) RNA Testing for Detection of Acute HCV Infection Among At-risk People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Multicenter Study

Using 3-stage pooled-plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA testing performed quarterly among at-risk people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), we found that if testing had been performed every 6 or 12 months, 58.6%–91.7% of PWH who recently acquired HCV would be delayed for diagnosis and might co...

Sumario:Using 3-stage pooled-plasma hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA testing performed quarterly among at-risk people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), we found that if testing had been performed every 6 or 12 months, 58.6%–91.7% of PWH who recently acquired HCV would be delayed for diagnosis and might contribute to onward HCV transmission with longer durations.
