From: HCV prevalence can predict HIV epidemic potential among people who inject drugs: mathematical modeling analysis

Fig. 7

Epidemiological overlap between HCV and HIV infections among people who inject drugs. These graphs describe the epidemiological relationship between HCV and HIV infections by plotting endemic HCV and HIV prevalence (a), the risk ratio of endemic HCV to HIV prevalence (RR HCV/HIV ) (b), and the odds ratio of endemic HCV to HIV prevalence (OR HCV/HIV ) (c), as a function of the average injecting risk behavior (effective partnership change rate). Six epidemiological regimes linking HIV prevalence and HCV prevalence are discerned (a). The RR HCV/HIV (b) and OR HCV/HIV (c) are displayed for regimes III-VI with sustainable epidemics for both infections
