Total (N=9168) excludes survivors who had a transfusion after 1993 for a non-cancer cause (n=74); “No prior testing” includes survivors who were uncertain about prior testing

*

Models do not include “physician discussed HCV ≤ 2 y ago” because the strong association with “no prior testing” outcome may mask other associations
