In 2019, the West Virginia (WV) Bureau for Public Health identified 15 HIV diagnoses among people who inject drugs (PWID) in Kanawha County, an area disproportionately affected by the opioid crisis; previously, annual diagnoses were less than 5. We investigated health care use and service delivery among PWID during the outbreak to identify opportunities to improve HIV- and opioid-related interventions.

Of 65 cases during an HIV outbreak among persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Kanawha County, West Virginia during 2019-2021, 61 (94%) had hepatitis C diagnosed at a median of 46 months prior to HIV diagnosis. Hepatitis C diagnosis among PWID should trigger improved access to prevention and treatment services.
