Liver Int. 2019 Nov;

Although novel hepatitis C (HCV) RNA point-of-care technology has the potential to enhance diagnosis in resource-limited settings, very little real-world validation of their utility exists. We evaluate the performance of HCV RNA quantification using the Xpert® HCV Viral Load Fingerstick assay (Xpert® HCV VL Fingerstick assay) as compared to the WHO pre-qualified plasma Xpert® HCV viral load assay among people who inject drugs (PWID) attending an opioid agonist therapy (OAT) clinic in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.
