Abstract
Our methodology replicated that of van Beek.4 Since 1992, all attenders at Trinity Court drug treatment centre with a history of injecting were encouraged to consent to hepatitis C and HIV testing during their addiction treatment. Data on the risk factors examined in this study were obtained via a semi-structured interview conducted by a doctor, and included information on demographic, treatment, forensic, and drug misuse characteristics.Keywords
