IвЂ™m a fan of Easy and didnвЂ™t think twice about pressing play. I had not seen anything about it before seeing the show pop up in the list. My wife and I ended up watching some of it while surfing around trying to find something to watch.

And thereвЂ™s several different pills you can pick from, because thereвЂ™s different genotypes, so some are specific for certain ones.

But yeah, easily treatable and its only a 2-4 month thing of just taking a single pill. These days itвЂ™s really a intravenous drug user thing, since donated blood is much more screened, at least in the US. Most people get it from sharing needles or injecting equipment (so actually a lot of people get it from sharing the same water, spoon, or cottons to inject because of the вЂњdonвЂ™t share needlesвЂќ knowledge thatвЂ™s available today), and at one point it was also spread through blood transfusions. Like HIV, it can only be spread by blood on blood contact so itвЂ™s not really a sexually transmitted disease unless itвЂ™s anal sex, which I believe at least Pamela Anderson said she got it through sex? DonвЂ™t quote me on that. While youвЂ™ll always test positive for being exposed to it, because your body has the antibodies, you wonвЂ™t have a viral load and it wonвЂ™t attack your liver and your life is no longer affected by it at all. Once you do that you donвЂ™t have to take anything else. Yeah itвЂ™s literally just a once a day pill and doesnвЂ™t take long for it to be undetectable/cured. You just have to get tested and verify you have itвЂ¦ not wait 25+ years later for liver cirrhosis to happen (because usually thereвЂ™s no signs/symptoms for a LONG time, like decadesвЂ¦). But yeah, point is- Hep C is completely treatable/curable now. The old form of treating it used to be almost like chemo (without the sympathy) and it didnвЂ™t even work for everyone. But yeahвЂ¦ ItвЂ™s extremely easy to treat now. Even those who donвЂ™t believe itвЂ™s a disease should realize itвЂ™s at the very least something people get out of control with.ДЄctually, now that people know that they might not share needles but they still share spoons and water to inject and thatвЂ™s how most people get it now. Making it illegal to buy needles is only harming people and itвЂ™s not cool to just let people catch disease because вЂњdrug=badвЂќ, especially considering addiction is a disease. Because IV drug users will use needles again and again and again. This is why harm reduction efforts for drug users are important. Lots of people who use needles get it because with a lack of needle exchanges/inability to buy needles most places, people share. These days you can take a once a day pill for 8-12 weeks and you no longer have Hep C.
