Background Increased uptake of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment among people who inject drugs (PWID) will be critical to achieve HCV elimination goals. There are limited data on HCV treatment uptake among PWID recruited from community‐based settings in the HCV direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) era. Methods We analysed data from PWID with HCV newly recruited into the Baltimore, Maryland‐based AIDS Linked to the IntraVenous Experience (ALIVE) cohort between 2015 and 2018. We characterized the HCV care continuum and evaluated factors associated with HCV treatment uptake. Results Of the 418 PWID with HCV, the median age was 49 years and most (88%) reported recent injection drug use (IDU). Overall, 23% had ever been evaluated by a provider for HCV treatment, 17% ever initiated DAA treatment and 13% were cured of HCV infection. Treatment uptake approximately doubled between 2015 and 2018 (13% to 26%, P = .01). In multivariable analyses, HIV infection (adjusted Odds Ratio aOR 2.5 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.3, 4.8), current employment (aOR 4.1 CI 1.2, 14.4), having a primary care provider (aOR 4.3 CI 1.2, 14.9) and longer duration of IDU (aOR 1.3 CI 1.1, 1.6) were positively associated with HCV treatment. PWID with a lower annual income (≤$5000) were less likely to have initiated HCV treatment (aOR 0.5 CI 0.3, 0.98). Conclusions Although HCV treatment uptake among PWID in this community‐based setting in the DAA era remains suboptimal, it is encouraging that treatment uptake has increased in recent years. Innovative strategies are needed to reach all PWID infected with HCV.
