Overview

The Hepatitis C research program at The University of New South Wales' National Centre in HIV Social Research began in 1999. The program focuses primarily on hepatitis C prevention, vaccines, treatment experiences, support, and care. A secondary area of interest includes illicit and injecting drug use. Essentially the program seeks to enhance knowledge regarding consumer experience and the social contexts of drug use, hepatitis C infection, and treatment.

A lot of the work undertaken by the program is done in partnership with Hepatitis Australia and the Australian Injecting and Illicit Drug Users League. At present the Hepatitis C research program is operating 11 projects and has numerous past projects available for viewing on their website.
