Population includes only n = 1648 screened for HCV during follow up and excludes 534 who did not initiate ART. Model 1 compares fishermen to general non-fishermen cohort. Model 2 compares fishermen subgroups to general cohort. ^aFor each risk factor, baseline for odds ratio is those without risk factor
