The treatment of HCV infection has become more complicated due to various genotypes and subtypes of HCV. The treatment of HCV has made significant advances with direct\u2010acting antivirals. However, for the choice of medicine or the combination of drugs for hepatitis C, it is imperative to detect and discriminate the crucial HCV genotypes. The main objective of this study was to determine the pattern of circulating HCV genotypes in southern Iran, from 2016 until 2019. The other aim of the study was to determine possible associations of patients\u2019 risk factors with HCV genotypes. A total of 803 serum samples were collected in 4 years (2016\u20132019) from patients with HCV antibody positive results. A total of 728 serum samples were HCV\u2010RNA positive. The prevalence of HCV genotypes was detected using the genotype\u2010specific RT\u2010PCR test for serum samples obtained from 615 patients. The HCV genotype 1 (G1) was the most prevalent (48.8%) genotype in the area, with G1a, G1b, and mixed G1a\/b representing 38.4%, 10.1%, and 0.3%, respectively. Genotype 3a was the next most prevalent (47.2%). Mixed genotypes 1a\/3a were detected in 22 (3.6%) and finally G4 was found in 3 (0.5%) patients. The other HCV genotypes were not detected in any patient. Genotype 1 (1a and 1b alone, 1a\/1b and 1a\/3a coinfections) is the most prevalent HCV genotype in southern Iran. HCV G1 shows a significantly higher rate in people under 40 years old.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1348-0421.12845","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T20:07:16Z","timestamp":1601323636000},"page":"762-767","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Hepatitis
