Abstract
Background. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) positivity is frequently found in people who inject drugs (PWID). The prevalence of HCV in this population in Ukraine is estimated at 71%. As treatment for HCV infection becomes more available, it is important to know what modifiable factors are related to testing, linkage to care and treatment.
