“…But despite the global commitment of universal access to HIV prevention, testing, treatment and care people who use drugs, especially women, are less likely to utilize these services (Malta, Ralil da Costa, & Bastos, 2014). Women who use drugs, just like any other person, want to lead healthy lives, but they are constrained in accessing services by social and structural factors including prejudiced health professionals, lack of gender appropriate services, costs, unsafe/indiscrete locations, fear of losing their children and partner violence (Olsen, Banwell, Dance, & Maher, 2012; Roberts et al, 2010). Structural interventions are therefore required to ensure benefits from the combination of services recommended (Strathdee et al, 2010).…”

“…Il faut dépasser les catégorisations simplistes et réductrices des individus et reconnaître la coexistence des apparences contraires au sein de la « réalité » constitutive de la personne. Par exemple, le « souci de soi » et de son devenir peut coexister avec une conduite toxicomaniaque (Drumm, McBride, Metsch, Neufeld et Sawatsky, 2005 ;Meylachs, Friedman, Mateu-Gelabert, Sandoval et Meylachs, 2015 ;Olsen, Banwell, Dance et Maher, 2012). Ces dimensions, comme il a été exposé, ont également toutes leurs limites et leurs potentiels de dérives.…”

“…Nous croyons cependant qu'il est plus juste de s'inspirer des derniers travaux de Foucault sur le gouvernement des vivants voulant que les gens se conforment à des règles et normes sociales alors qu'ils n'en sont pas contraints par la force (Foucault, 1983). Les études démontrent en effet que les personnes vont également adhérer à des messages de santé publique, parce qu'elles se soucient effectivement de leur santé et de leur bien-être, qu'elles veulent se protéger des méfaits et des souffrances morales, physiques et sociales, et qu'elles adhèrent aussi aux valeurs centrales que sont l'autoresponsabilisation et l'autonomie (Drumm, McBride, Metsch, Neufeld et Sawatsky, 2005 ;Meylakhs, Friedman, Mateu-Gelabert, Sandoval et Meylakhs, 2015 ;Olsen, Banwell, Dance et Maher, 2012).…”

“…It is reasonable to believe that in some of these subpopulations, health-related quality of life (HRQL) issues may be not the same as in others and neither would be the impact of curing their HCV infection. 3,4 In this context, the PWID population with HCV may be one of those subpopulations with a substantially distinct HRQL presentation due to multiple reasons ranging from physical and mental health-related issues to issues related to social stigma. Although patient-reported outcomes data for this specific HCV population are currently lacking, we have shown the benefits of receiving interferon-free and ribavirin-free regimens (improvement in fatigue and quality of life during treatment and after achieving SVR) in a number of HCV subpopulations with other risk factors.…”

“…2 Understanding the impact of HCV treatment on quality of life is an important issue for people who inject drugs as it can help us to understand the implications of these other social complexities in people's lives. 3 We believe that if there are improvements in the quality of life, then these are important to understand beyond the cure of HCV and the development of significant liver disease. We argue that there is much to learn from people who inject drugs who are a unique population currently absent from much of the data on the effectiveness of interferon free HCV treatment.…”
