Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is usually transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. The risk of transmission by sexual contact has been thought to be low. However, in recent years increasing hepatitis C infection has been documented among HIV-positive gay men, with sexual contact the most most likely means of infection in the majority of cases. This grant will use established cohorts to define levels of hepatitis C risk through sexual contact among homosexual men to inform public health strategies.

丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）通常通过血液接触传播。通过性接触传播的风险被认为很低。然而，近年来，在艾滋病毒阳性的男同性恋者中，丙型肝炎感染的增加已被记录在案，在大多数情况下，性接触是最有可能的感染方式。该赠款将使用已建立的队列来确定同性恋男性之间通过性接触感染丙型肝炎的风险水平，以告知公共卫生战略。
