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 live in a small town in rural west tennessee. There are several people litterally withing a stones throw from me that are infected with HCV. I was wondering what a person needs to do to maybe get together with people and talk among us. Say maybe once a month have a HCV'ers night out. Since I was diagnosed with it by comming here has given me more strength and more determination about beating this. One of the guys that happens to be my neighbor doesn't want anyone to know that he has this. I want so much to reach out to him but he doesn't know that I know about his condition.

On our weekly hep C Telechat, we have people from all across the U.S., and maybe you can come and find some people close to your area. At least close enough for you to start some relationships by phone.
I can also send you some listings of support groups in your area, if you'll send me a city that is close to you.
just an idea anyway. good luck
