People who inject drugs
(PWID) are a key population at risk of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and HIV
infections. Globally, 63% of PWID are HCV infected [1, 2] and 19% are HIV infected [2], leading to an estimated 10 million and 3
million HCV- and HIV-infected PWID, respectively [1–3]. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA), a
region comprising 23 countries from Morocco in the West to Pakistan in the
East, is at the centre of major drug production and trade, creating a context
of vulnerability to injecting drug use [4]. PWID in MENA are a large, mostly young and
stigmatized population experiencing a substantial HCV and HIV burden, with
potential for even further HIV epidemic growth. Yet, they lack access to
comprehensive and confidential HCV and HIV testing, prevention and treatment
services.

people who inject drugs in the Middle East and North Africa as per available
studies [6]. Error bars represent the lower and upper bounds
of the interquartile range if more than one data point was available per
country.
