I think we are treading on treacherous ground here. comparing funding and

visability of one disease against another is just plain bad politics. AIDS

research is the only reason we have a treatment for hep c today and in the

future will be the reason for better drugs with less side effects. we heppers

owe a lot to AIDS researchers and activists. Research on the HIV virus is to

our benefit!!! Let's get behind them and help the cause!! It can only help us!

Re: News - Protesters Shout Down

U.S. Health Head at AIDS Meet

Ok, Carol - I e-mailed NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN - oops, forgot Fox. I asked them

why they have given so much attention to AIDS and so little to Hepatitis C, when

there are so many more of us who need help and are being overlooked. I

explained how there are an inordinate number of veterans, health care

professionals, firemen and just ordinary people who have Hepatitis C, and we

have been suffering with it for years, yet no one seems to give a rat's rear

end. I said that it was my understanding that Hep C is the biggest reason for

liver transplant in this country, and probably the biggest cause of liver cancer

as well.

I asked them why my life should matter less because I am a mousy housewife in

the Midwest who happened to get a lousy luck of the draw from a blood

transfusion, than if I was some loudmouth AIDS activist who thinks not enough

money is going to third world countries.

I said it was their duty as the powerhouses of the American media to bring

this story into the headlines and get us the help and support that we need.

Let's see if I hear back from any of them.

I think the more of us who let the networks know how devastating this is, the

more likely they will start paying attention to us. Who else is going to start

sending e-mails?

The only treacherous ground I see here is ignoring the larger illness for the

one that gives media more bang for their buck. The latest CDC figures on

HIV/AIDS is that there are 774,467 cases in this country. The CDC says there

are 4 *Million* people in this country with Hepatitis C, and the numbers are

probably much larger.

When women realized how much research was going on for AIDS, and realized that

far more of them were dying from breast cancer, they mobilized much the same as

the AIDS activists. I have never seen one shred of data that indicated that

breast cancer research took one penny away from AIDS research.

I agree to a point that AIDS research benefitted Hepatitis C research, if only

that they stumbled upon a form of Hepatitis they named Non-A Non-B, which they

initially thought was the cause of AIDS. We now know it as Hepatitis C. I'll

get behind the AIDS bandwagon once we have our own Brown Clinics for

Hepatits C. Until then, I choose to bang my own drum.
