People who inject drugs (PWID) have higher rates of hepatitis C virus (HCV) than do other groups. Effective, safe new treatments called direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have been developed recently. Unfortunately, PWID rarely get these treatments. The drugs are expensive, so insurers often do not cover the cost of DAAs. Sometimes providers hesitate to prescribe DAAs because they are concerned that PWID won't take their medication or that these patients might become reinfected.
