Testing and Linkage From January 2019 through December 2019, COPE tested 640 people for HCV and HIV. We tested at 62 events in all five boroughs of New York City and Westchester County. Our testing finding for Hepatitis C was a 15.1 overall seropositivity rate. Our seropositivity rate of HIV was 2.3, however 12.5 of people tested for HCV were HIV positive. In 2019, we expanded our testing and outreach services to include opioid replacement therapy facilities and harm reduction facilities. With a more targeted towards active and former substance users we have been able to identify more people aware of their status without having to antibody test. With this approach we can send people with known infections directly for their confirmatory blood draw, or we draw blood for RNA confirmatory test on the spot and take to lab for analysis. If an active viral load is found, we then take the necessary steps to link them to a provider.
