We set out to examine several aspects of the relationship between alcohol use and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among a cohort of patients treated at an HCV clinic within a safety net hospital. We examined (1) the prevalence of alcohol use among patients treated for HCV, (2) the likelihood of being started on treatment among patients who reported drinking alcohol compared with those who did not, and (3) the associations between alcohol use and HCV cure.
