Brief summary
This is an observational study, in which a single visit will be carried out, which includes a questionnaire on sexual habits and in which the possibility of carrying out a screening for Hepatitis C will be offered. Depending on the score obtained in the questionnaire, the screening will be carried out using a rapid serology test or viral load. During the first year, a SCORE will be developed to classify the risk of positive results. This SCORE will be used during phase 2 to offer users of the centres a targeted screening based on the Pre-test score.
