Hep C Now Kills More People than AIDS/HIV

A report published in a February issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine sheds light on a scary new fact: Hep B and Hep C are now responsible for more deaths than AIDS/HIV.

A public health program that addresses living with hepatitis C -- similar to the ones available for AIDS patients --  is sorely needed, said the study's co-author, Dr. John W. Ward in The New York Times:

"The declines in H.I.V. reflect the accomplishments in building a public health response to the epidemic that improved screening and provided means of access to effective treatment," he said in the Times.

Should you be tested for hepatitis C?

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation
but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand.

It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward
for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
