HIV prevalence among people who inject drugs | Triangular distributions that differ by country or territory | 1,16 |
HCV antibody prevalence among people who inject drugs | Triangular distributions that differ by country or territory | 1 |
Population size of people who inject drugs | Triangular distributions that differ by country or territory | 1,16 |
Proportion of people who inject drugs that are unstably housed | Triangular distributions that differ by country or territory | 1 |
Average duration of injecting | Triangular distributions that differ by country or territory | 17 |
Proportion of HCV infections that spontaneously clear | Uniform (0·22–0·29%) | 18 |
Relative increase in HIV transmission risk if unstably housed | Lognormal distribution with mean 1·39 (95% CI 1·06–1·84) | 5 |
Relative increase in HCV transmission risk if unstably housed | Lognormal distribution with mean 1·64 (95% CI 1·43–1·89) | 5 |

ART=antiretroviral therapy. HCV=hepatitis C virus.
