Wed., May. 19, 2010 at 2:11 pm EDT I completely agree we need more services for Hepatitis C. I am a counseling, tester and referral person. I do not only HIV but Hepatitis C/Syphilis testing. I have had huge numbers of Hepatitis C positive as my program here in Indiana targets IDU's. Heroin and opiate abuse has become so prevalent here. There is no duty to warn someone you share with of your Hep C status as there is for HIV. It is just as deadly when left untreated because so many are chronic. We can't stop HIV or Hep C in the drug using community without programs, education,testing and referral to medical care and care coordination.
