8%) by the Artus HCV RNA kit and in 36 of 147 (24.8%) by the GenXpert. Median quantitative HCV RNA viral load on finger prick was 28 700 IU/mL (IQR 4070-65 875) vs 1 900 000IU/mL (IQR 416,466-2,265,51 on plasma. The GenXpert instrument had a sensitivity of 100% (95% CI 90%-100%) and a specificity of 99.1% (95.1%-99.9%). The overall diagnostic accuracy was 99.3% (96.3%-99.9%). This study validates the excellent performance of the GenXpert instrument to assess HCV RNA in capillary whole blood by finger prick in a PWID cohort. © 2020 J
