TLDR
Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) provide PWID with needles/syringes, condoms, HIV/HCV testing and linkage to opioid agonist treatment (OAT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Ukraine, and their impact and cost‐effectiveness are estimated.
Abstract
People who inject drugs (PWID) in Ukraine have high prevalences of HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) provide PWID with needles/syringes, condoms, HIV/HCV testing and linkage to opioid agonist treatment (OAT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART). We estimated their impact and cost‐effectiveness among PWID.
