Abstract
Open AccessHepatitis C virus treatment guidance was updated to include sustained virologic response at 4-weeks post-treatment (SVR4) as an alternative measure of cure for select groups. Among a community-based sample of people who inject drugs receiving an accelerated test-and-treat protocol, results at treatment completion and SVR4 predicted those at 12-week post-treatment.
