Hepatitis C among drug users in Europe
31 de Agosto de 2016
Hepatitis C is a disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which if not
resolved can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and cancer. The disease, which affects
many millions of people worldwide, is communicable and is spread by contact with
infected blood or other bodily fluids. In Europe, the key risk group for HCV infection is
people who inject drugs. High rates of HCV infection are commonly found in this group and
people with an injecting history, however brief, as well as current injection drug users, are
still unaware of their infection status. There are now new opportunities for effective
treatment and prevention that, if scaled up sufficiently in Europe, could contribute to
a significant reduction in the health harms associated with this disease.
