Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

I wish I would've had an HCV-8!

yes, yes, YES! I hope my hep'tologist is there - bet he is. This conference is the most awesome one yet with all the info on new drugs that WORK with no or few sides. Doc, I want those drugs - you pick 'em and convince my meds healthcare provider to pay for 'em, please - PLEASE.

Hmmmm - the Netherlands - wonder if those attending are hitting the Red Light District (as paying customers) - I'm sure they are in places other than Amsterdam in case this hoopla isn't in A'Dam - and the stoner cafes? Ya think? Doubtful.

Oh, DUH... now I see "Amsterdam" in Kramer's post. Well then, they sure picked a great place to meet and greet, didn't they?
