Primary | HCV incidence | The incidence rate of HCV acquisition between both arms. HCV RNA would be tested for each participants every 3 months during follow-up, and the incidence rate is calculated as following: new cases of HCV viremia / person-time of follow-up. | 48 weeks | |
Secondary | STI incidence | The incidence of sexually-transmitted infection between both arms.
