"I want to get better, but…": identifying the perceptions and experiences of people who inject drugs with respect to evolving hepatitis C virus treatments.

The advent of highly tolerable and efficacious direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications has transformed the hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment landscape. Yet, people who inject drugs (PWID) - a population with inequitably high rates of HCV and who face significant socio-structural barriers to healthcare access - continue to have disproportionately low rates of DAA uptake. The objective of this study is to explore how PWID with lived experience of HCV perceive and experience DAA treatment, in a setting with universal coverage of these medications since 2018.
