Abstrakt:	A new report from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City reveals that rates of hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection are higher than primary infection rates among men who have sex with men (MSM) with HIV in European cohorts. The study found that the behaviors mediating this high rate of transmission among MSM are poorly understood. The research suggests that HCV prevalence is highly heterogeneous among sexual networks, and that sexualized methamphetamine use may be a marker for the highest HCV prevalence networks. The study concludes that novel interventions are needed to address this sexually transmitted HCV epidemic. [Extracted from the article]
