Funded Activity Summary

SToP-C will investigate whether a significant reduction in hepatitis C infection in NSW prisons is possible with a “treatment as prevention” strategy. It will treat prisoners for hep C infection both to improve their own health and to make onward transmission to others less likely. There is currently a lack of available effective strategies; however through delivery of simple, effective new therapies this world-first trial offers significant opportunities to reduce the burden of liver disease.
