Barriers to HCV treatment exist for those co-infected with both HIV and HCV. Southern states represent the epicenter of the HIV epidemic in the United States. This study assessed HCV knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions in 318 co-infected individuals attending Ryan White HIV\/AIDS Program (RWHAP) clinics in three South Texas cities. Two groups were compared, those tested for HCV and aware of their results (Group 1) and those uncertain if they were tested or tested and unaware of their results (Group 2). HCV knowledge was poor overall. Group 1 had a significantly higher mean HCV knowledge score than Group 2 by t-test (48.6 vs. 38.8; p &lt; .01), but not by multivariable linear regression (p=.14). Factors predictive of greater HCV knowledge included self-identification as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and post high school educational attainment. Significantly more in Group 1 compared with Group 2 agreed that HCV medications would keep a person healthier for longer. Spanish speakers were more likely to disagree with a statement that people of color receive the same treatment for hepatitis C as white people. Study limitations identified include poor generalizability to people with HIV (PWH) receiving care in non-RWHAP settings and rural communities. Despite limitations, this study augments the paucity of information about knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of HCV in PWH and can inform interventions to combat barriers to HCV treatment and to maximize opportunities for HCV screening, diagnosis, and linkage to curative care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248399231169924","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]],"date-time":"2023-07-13T13:30:19Z","timestamp":1689255019000},"page":"973-981","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Hepatitis C Knowledge, Attitudes, and Perceptions Among People With HIV in South Texas"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Waridibo E.","family":"Allison","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Fort Worth, TX, USA"},{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6228-9749","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aro N.","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Fort Worth, TX, USA"},{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keito","family":"Kawasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anmol","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Tsevat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1897-962X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Trisha V.","family":"Melhado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth, Fort Worth, TX, USA"},{"name":"The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15248399231169924","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10461-019-02679-2"},{"key":"bibr2-15248399231169924","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocac142"},{"key":"bibr3-15248399231169924","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14218\/JCTH.2017.00067"},{"key":"bibr4-15248399231169924","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2018.08.060"},{"key":"bibr5-15248399231169924","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0237269"},{"key":"bibr6-15248399231169924","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
