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.
ok this makes me mad...ya know those ads for different medications on tv? they always say do not use or consult your physision first if you have heart problems,kidney problems, high blood pressure,ect ect ect...well what about the H word...HEPITITIS C...what is this denial the world is in..never say the H word in public or on tv...don't warn people about medications if they have HEPITITIS C. don't tell anyone cause you might be labeled...we're not important cause we have that H word so just ignore us and maybe we'll go away..never mind that your child or your sister or your mother or father or brother or priest or minister or rabbi could get it from surgery or blood transfusion or a clinic in nevada or anywhere else in the world and heaven forbid that the government should help medicaly or otherwise when someone does get sick from the H word....i just had to vent to someone that understands...and this isn't riba rage cause i'm not doing tx...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!! thank you all for listening...think i'll go scream into a pillow then finish my housework.

I think when there is a huge problem in 20 or 30 years with millions upon millions of people neeeding liver transplants well then and maybe then this fucking world will WAKE UP! If only those people would have known to get checked...if only those people could have done a treatment to stop the end stage liver disease from distroying their liver...IF ONLY mankind would have gotten there fucking heads out of the sand 20 or 30 years prior!!!!Someday the world will wake up but so many lives will have to be lost first...it is sad and unfortunate but it is true. Jeeeeeze this makes me mad!
What really bothers me is that more education needs to get out about A and B because there is no reason to get either when you can get protected from both.
