Aim Investigate impact of scaling-up opiate substitution therapy (OST) and high coverage needle and syringe programmes (100%NSP – obtaining more sterile syringes than you inject) on HCV prevalence amongst injecting drug users (IDUs). Design HCV transmission modelling using UK estimates for effect of OST and 100%NSP on individual risk of HCV infection.
