在一项对来自东西西里的175名静脉吸毒成瘾者的研究中，发现58.3%的人抗-HCV阳性。在这一人群中，抗-HCV的存在与HIV感染、年龄、吸毒持续时间和共用针头的做法无关。这可能表明HCV在吸毒者中比HIV更容易传播（或在该人群中更早传播）。
In a study of 175 intravenous drug addicts from Eastern Sicily, 58.3% were found to be anti-HCV positive. In this population, the presence of anti-HCV was independent of HIV infection, age, duration of drug use and the practice of needle sharing. This may indicate that HCV is more readily transmitted (or spread earlier in this population) among drug addicts than is HIV.
