This project comprises a review of the current literature relating to the prevention of hepatitis C transmission among injecting drug users. It includes a review of the world epidemiology and patterns of hepatitis C infection and looks at the various strategies by which the control of this epidemic in Australia has been attempted. The review will explore the possibility of alternative prevention strategies and make recommendations for the future of hepatitis C prevention in Australia.
