I don't believe it! Finally some place that agrees with me!

from Hepatitis at www.healthmonitor.com

They mention blood transfusion prior to 1992 - now if only the media

would pick up on it

So who is at risk? What you may not realize is that the majority of

people with hepatitis C were born between 1946 and 1964—making up

nearly 75% of those infected with chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C

is spread when blood from an infected person enters the body of

someone who is not infected. Today, the most common risk factor for

becoming infected is IV drug use, but if you received a blood

transfusion prior to 1992 (when screening for the disease started),

you’re also at a higher risk and should be tested for the disease.
