NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The incidence of sexually acquired hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections appears to be rising among men who have sex with men (MSM) and use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against HIV, U.S. researchers report.

Dr. Fierer and colleagues now report 15 likely sexually acquired HCV infections among 14 MSM using PrEP between 2013 and 2018 (including one man who was re-infected after clearance of his primary HCV infection).

Dr. Fierer added, "Since there was not universal routine HCV surveillance among all men on PrEP in New York City and San Francisco, we were unable to calculate an incidence rate of HCV in this population. Therefore, more research is needed with prospective cohorts (which we are now doing).
