Brief Summary:
The principal objective is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) to detect HCV RNA against the reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott) using stored heparinized plasma from patients with chronic hepatitis C and non-infected controls.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Accuracy of HCV RNA detection with PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) vs reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott). [ Time Frame: pre-treatment ]
    Assess the diagnostic accuracy of the PoC assay (Genedrive, Epistem) to detect HCV RNA against the reference standard of commercial real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay (RealTime HCV, Abbott) using stored heparinized plasma from patients with chronic hepatitis C and non-infected controls (with Genedrive channel acceptance set at 2 out of 3).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnostic algorithm optimization [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment ]
    To optimize the diagnostic algorithm (i.e., 1, 2, or 3 out of 3 channels; repeat testing or not) that gives the optimal balance between sensitivity and specificity for detection of HCV RNA.

  2. Factors associated with false-positive of false-negative results [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment ]
    To identify factors associated with false-positive or false-negative results of the PoC assay.

  3. Assess the inter-examiner reproducibility of the PoC assay. [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment ]
