Cuz believe it ... if you're wondering about something, then others are too.I just got the form up and running today (Thursday, January 26, 2006), so you won't find anything on it right now - except a link to submit a question - to be posted by Friday.... and I hope you

... and I want to take you with me.January 18, 2006Just want to let you all know that by next week I’m going to incorporate this blog into the Hep C Straight Up site. My initial goal here was to inspire dialogue re: hep C. Since then, I’ve gotten some feedback that folks are pretty “blogged out.” I’m also hearing from folks, that it’s a real pain in the butt to comment here, because to do so, you

I've been thinking a lot about all the good stuff put before us at the family tables during this time. I don't know about you, but where I'm at with my hep C ,

This is just some ancilliary musings from AASLDHep C Awareness?As my airport shuttle hit downtown San Francisco, I noticed banners adorning street lights which read, “Hepatitis Awareness Month – Get Tested.” These were done by the American Liver Foundation. I thought this was great – and a lot more action than I’d ever seen from this well-meaning organization – and clearly done in honor of the
