For those learning to navigate this site, I posted a suggestion (in the MedHelp Suggestions) to have a link at the top of the Hep C forum page, on what newbies (like me) need to know about Hep C, along with how to use this site. Below is a link to the response I got from Moderator Emily. I hope the link she suggests is helpful to you:
Please also look at the link I sent to her. Even though it is older, it is a nice "Welcome" page for Hep B. Emily suggested that someone here (not me because I am still learning) could write a similar page for Hep C.
