Professor Dusheiko based at the Royal Free hospital works in both Britain and developing countries investigating Hep B and C.<br />Check out his website.<br /><br />And on the other hand there are some NHS staff working on hospital wards, dealing with hepatitis positive people on a daily basis who have no conception of what that means for the person or themselves. Typically their first assumption is that the person with Hep B/C is or was a drug abuser and a certain restrained, untouchable approach is thus adopted. <br /><br />For pregnant Hep C women, lack of knowledge informs most of the information given to those who wish to breastfeed, usually revolving around their viral load volumes only, leaving women and their babies open to potential danger.<br /><br />We all need to be aware, informed and insistant that hepatitis is eliminated.annenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3374691808292855765.post-38177926131649852212010-05-24T22:34:08.767+01:002010-05-24T22:34:08.767+01:00Brilliant post Euclides.

Just to add....the more noise we make about this silent killer the more likely pharmaceutical companies are to put money and resources into researching and developing effective cures which at the moment are sadly lacking.

It's a real worry what we're going to do when public awareness finally does catch up with Hep's progress and we realise that a third of health professional may be positive. The more noise we can create around this the more lives we save.Rachel Surteesnoreply@blogger.com
