Hepatitis C Now More Deadly than AIDS in United States (ContributorNetwork)
ContributorNetwork – Hepatitis C, or HCV, is now causing more deaths in the United States than HIV/AIDS, as reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the 62nd annual meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Disease. Due to the already-high number of baby boomers who die from HCV, the CDC is on the cusp of officially recommending one-time HCV testing for this age group.
