Perhaps someday the CDC will consider recognizing disparities among IDU populations and viral hepatitis in the same way they do the GBLT community..

I have been on the front line in St Louis MO for over 10 years fighting this ” silent epidemic” as the former surgeon general described it almost 10 yrs ago. I am a Board certified gastroenterologist in STL, trained at St Louis Univ under Dr Bruce Bacon.Have an academic appt as an assistant clinical prof in the div of internal med. I treat a predominantly African Am population of HCV. It is both challenging and rewarding. We thank u for this effort and we are available to help in any way.
