Following up on your Hepatitis C story being sexually transmitted between gay men. We need funding similar to Ryan White for Hepatitis C infection. There a barely any resources for those not insured testing positive for HCV. The numbers for HCV are four times higher than HIV. I am hoping this will be part of the new authorization of Ryan White in October.
A little hard to push risk reduction in a world where barebacking is normalized, and even glorified, isn't it? You're not going to be able tell poz men to wear condoms while passing out prophylactic pills to the neg ones because they can't be bothered. That's exactly what we're getting here. Wonderful sexual double standard. Too bad we might all die for it.

We need people who require medical care to stop thinking of *their* disease as entitled to care, without regard to others. The answer isn't "Ryan White for HCV", only to leave those with cancer high and dry. We need single payer healthcare, yesterday!
