NCT ID NCT03981445

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether providing HIV prevention (PrEP) and hepatitis C treatment together at one location works better than sending patients to separate clinics. About 446 people who inject drugs will be randomly assigned to either on-site integrated care or off-site referrals with patient navigation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better PrEP adherence and higher hepatitis C cure rates.

Active substance

patient navigation (behavioral intervention)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that offering HIV prevention and HCV treatment in one place works better than sending patients to different clinics, improving health outcomes for people who inject drugs.

What could go wrong

This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on patient engagement and local resources. The findings may not apply to all communities or healthcare systems.
