The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with phylogenetic clustering among people with recently acquired hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Participants with available sample at time of HCV detection were selected from three studies; the Australian Trial in Acute Hepatitis C, the Hepatitis C Incidence and Transmission Study Prison and Community. HCV RNA was extracted and Core to E2 region of HCV sequenced. Clusters were identified from maximum likelihood trees with 1000 bootstrap replicates using 90% bootstrap and 5% genetic distance threshold. Among 225 participants with available Core-E2 sequence (ATAHC, n = 113; HITS-p, n = 90; and HITS-c, n = 22), HCV genotype prevalence was: G1a: 38% (n = 86), G1b: 5% (n = 12), G2a: 1% (n = 2), G2b: 5% (n = 11), G3a: 48% (n = 109), G6a: 1% (n = 2) and G6l 1% (n = 3). Of participants included in phylogenetic trees, 22% of participants were in a pair/cluster (G1a-35%, 30/85, mean maximum genetic distance = 0.031; G3a-11%, 12/106, mean maximum genetic distance = 0.021; other genotypes-21%, 6/28, mean maximum genetic distance = 0.023). Among HCV/HIV co-infected participants, 50% (18/36) were in a pair/cluster, compared to 16% (30/183) with HCV mono-infection (P =
