* Note: The classification is based on the ECDC framework of the call, and the allocation is based on the submitter’s choice. An identification code (ID) was given to each MoGP with the letter corresponding to the stage in the care cascade: A = community-based testing, B = linkage to care and C = adherence to treatment; the number represents the current number assigned to the MoGP submission. ** Note: outreach refers to outreach programmes. *** Note: in this MoGP, HCV is only addressed in community-based testing
