There is considerable interest in determining the impact that increased uptake of treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection will have on the burden of HCV among people who inject drugs (PWID). An understanding of the size of the population of PWID, rates of injecting cessation and HCV prevalence and incidence within the PWID population is essential for such exercises. However, these parameters are often uncertain. In this paper we review methods for estimating the size of the population of PWID and related parameters, taking into account the uncertainty that exists around data on the natural history of injecting drug use; consider issues in the estimation of HCV prevalence among PWID; and consider the importance of opioid substitution...
