You Are Not Alone

1,233,735 people live in metro Louisville area 

1.6% of population of United States are infected with HCV (CDC)

Nearly 20,000  people in metro Louisville area are infected right now.

It is estimated that 7% of male boomers (born '46-'64) have HCV which is almost 2 out 25 men aged 45 - 62.

You are not alone!  We have two clinics plus the VA  right here in Louisville devoted to treatment.
 
And not everyone needs treatment but you do need the facts.  This is the site of the monthly support group where you can ask the questions that you need answered.
