OBJECTIVES:Prisons are major reservoirs of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in which a therapeutic approach has been particularly difficult so far. Our aim was to create a permanent program of HCV elimination in a prison based on a "test and treat" strategy.
METHODS:This open-label clinical trial was conducted in the Spanish prison "El Dueso" between May 2016 and July 2017.

An evaluation of new cases of HCV infection was performed every 6 months and upon release in all inmates.
RESULTS:847 (99.5%) inmates accepted to participate. HCV antibodies were present in 110 (13.0%) and 86 (10.2%) had detectable viremia. Most of them were genotype 1 or 3 (82.6%) and had 更多
