On a recent dr visit I found a WHOLE stack of Feb and March issues of HealthMonitor.The whole issue was dedicated to hep C and was very surprized to see this.There are ads for both vic and inc.It was a take home issue so thats what I did.U.S Rep,Hank Johnson is on the cover.First time i have seen a magazine with the dedication to hep C !!!!!  cindy

I saw that ad in AARP this week. I was duly impressed with the smashed hepatitic C viron!  Boy he blasted it to smitherines!  I Think the ad was well placed in AARP -- not so sure about the Sports Ill swimsuit issue.

Goof -- you don't know what you are missing.  All those good discounts on hotel rooms!  We AARPS have an edge!

I might be an old fart - but I ain't ready to be an AARP reading old fart. Not till my last hemorrhoid reaches my knees.

Michael Michael Michael we all know you said it was Playboy ;)

Seriously though I am glad that they are advertising, even if for the few folks who do know they have it and will decide to treat it (hopefully).
