Official title
A Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Feasibility of Bundled HCV/HIV Rapid Screening
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This randomized controlled trial was implemented to evaluate the effect of integrating rapid Hepatitis C (HCV) testing into a pre-existing screening program for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) on HIV test acceptance and diagnosis of both HCV and HIV. A sample of 478 adults in a New York City Emergency Department participated in the study. Participants were randomized to receive either an offer of bundled HIV/HCV testing or HIV testing alone. Public Health Advocates approached eligible patients in the Emergency Department, performed HIV and HCV raid testing, and delivered test results to participants with post-test counseling. The primary outcome, HIV test acceptance, was compared between the two groups to evaluate whether the addition of an HCV test adversely impacted participants' consent to test for HIV. Questionnaires were also distributed to participants to assess HCV knowledge.
