Health-care workers not affiliated with the jails conducted HCV antibody (anti-HCV) and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) testing and linkage-to-care activities. The North Carolina jail provided universal opt-out testing for HCV; South Carolina jails initially targeted high-risk individuals before expanding to routine testing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 669 detainees tested for HCV in North Carolina, 88 (13.2%) tested anti-HCV positive, of whom 81 (92.0%) received an HCV RNA test, 66 (81.5%) of whom tested HCV RNA positive (i.e., currently infected). Of the 66 detainees with current HCV infection, 18 were referred to HCV medical care post-release and 10 attended their first appointment. Of 224 detainees tested for HCV in South Carolina, 18 (8.0%) tested anti-HCV positive, of whom 13 received an HCV RNA test. Nine of 13 detainees tested HCV RNA positive, seven detainees were referred to post-release medical care, and two detainees attended their first appointment. Overall, 106 of 893 (11.9%) detainees were anti-HCV positive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study demonstrated that HCV testing, identification of infection, and linkage to care are feasible among jail populations. The rate of anti-HCV positivity was lower than that found in national studies of incarcerated populations, suggesting that HCV infection prevalence in jails may vary across U.S. states or regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/00333549161310s215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,29]],"date-time":"2016-06-29T15:47:01Z","timestamp":1467215221000},"page":"98-104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Hepatitis C Virus Testing and Linkage to Care in North Carolina and South Carolina Jails, 2012\u20132014"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"Ben T.","family":"Schoenbachler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, Oak Ridge, TN"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bryce D.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Viral Hepatitis, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arlene C.","family":"Se\u00f1a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham County Department of Public Health, Durham, NC"},{"name":"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Division of Infectious Diseases, Chapel Hill, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Hilton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Durham County Department of Public Health, Durham, NC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sallie","family":"Bachman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HopeHealth Inc., Orangeburg, SC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mulamba","family":"Lunda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HopeHealth Inc., Florence, SC"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne C.","family":"Spaulding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University, Rollins School of Public Health, Department of Epidemiology, Atlanta, GA"},{"name":"Emory University School of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Atlanta, GA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11524-015-9945-4"},{"key":"bibr2-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7150\/ijms.3.47"},{"key":"bibr3-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-158-5-201303050-00005"},{"key":"bibr4-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M13-1133"},{"key":"bibr5-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciu509"},{"key":"bibr6-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dld.2010.05.006"},{"key":"bibr7-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0007558"},{"key":"bibr8-00333549161310S215","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.27978"},{"key":"bibr9-00333549161310S215","unstructured":"Estelle v.
