Hepatitis C Movement for Awareness

by HCVets.com

Thousands of military veterans across the South are waiting to find out if they were exposed to Hepatitis C by VA clinics that performed colonoscopies and other procedures with equipment that wasn’t properly sterilized.,, Veterans Affairs officials won’t say if mistakes that may have exposed patients to infections at medical centers in Tennessee and Florida and a clinic in Georgia have been discovered elsewhere… 

From HCVets: "One needs to look no further than the inconsistencies within vets claims for service connection for HCV to see the incompetence and lack of understanding how this virus transmits."

Many thanks to those that responded to our past campaign efforts by contacting your representatives . One by one we have managed to keep HCVets issues in the forefront.

We now have another opportunity to highlight the lack of standard procedures that existed during active duty. The multiple exposures at VA hospitals across the country recently (listed below), shed more light on how vets and dependents were exposed during the height of the HCV epidemic.

Please take the time to send your comments to Sen. John Kerry and your representatives. Help us educate the law makers.
