Sumario:• We developed a two-session behavioral intervention to prevent HCV reinfection. • The intervention was piloted at an OTP and integrated into HCV treatment. • Baseline data showed limited knowledge & application of safer injection practices. • Implementation barriers included logistics and the lack of financial incentive. • Adaptations addressed barriers, yielding a more feasible and acceptable intervention.
