HCV prevalence is higher in prisons, so to increase test uptake an \u2018opt-out\u2019 approach to blood-borne virus testing in English and Welsh prisons was introduced. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title><jats:p> This literature review examines the evidence behind the introduction of this public health policy. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Four healthcare databases were searched for publications between January 2000 and February 2020 on the opt-out approach to blood-borne virus testing in prisons. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Sixteen studies published between 2009 and 2019 were included.
