I don't think any one was being negative, it's just that on that first link, they use a photo of a junkie preceding an article about Hep C following the stereotype that everyone who has hep c was a junkie which forms the stigma.  

I WAS a junkie and DID get it from IV drug use, but also think that that photo is distasteful and ugly.

I let ya in on a secret...You don't have to open a new thread everytime to respond or make a comment. Just click on your previous thread, and hit "post comment" button at bottom of page.

There is already a "cure" for HCV..It's called interferon/riba combination treatment.. For geno 1's, it cures just about 50%. For geno 2's and 3, it is near 80%..
