Brief Summary:
To assess the prevalence of blood-borne viral infections in prisons in Belgium, screening will be executed in several prisons in Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia to obtain a geographical representative distribution.
Upon informed consent screening will be performed using whole capillary blood (finger prick testing) with three different tests for HCV Ab, HBsAg and HIV. Screening will be performed first. While awaiting the test result (15-20min), the participant can fill out a questionnaire (together with the study nurse), concerning risk factors for HCV, HBV and HIV infection. This questionnaire is filled out directly online, and will be immediately implemented in the encoded database. The database is set-up according to the rules of good clinical practice. (Castor EDC software). The results will be filled out immediately by the prison staff in this database after it is filled out by the participant, minimizing the risk of displacement of test results.
