Hepatitis and HIV screening for drug users
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a convenient way to screen people who use drugs or are in vulnerable situations for hepatitis B, C, and HIV using rapid tests and a liver scanner. The goal is to see if offering these tests in community settings (like shelters or mobile clinics) is acceptable and works well.
