Abstract

Abstract: We evaluated hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening practices at a sexually transmitted infection clinic in Rhode Island. Risk-based HCV screening generated fewer tests than universal screening but may have missed infections in men who have sex with men. Injection drug use was most strongly associated with positive HCV antibody test results.
