Enclosed for your edification is a large compendium of all things HCV from the vA library. No, Virginia. The small v is not a typo. It represents the government’s commitment to Veterans who merit a capitalized V.
As such, anything you read here is horribly slanted like the deck of the Titanic. There is some useful information, I’m sure. Separating the wheat from the chaff will be your mission, should you wish to attempt it. Some is new. Most is extremely old. vA conveniently does not time stamp a lot of this so it appears to be recent. If anyone unearths something useful here that might help a Vet, please post it here under comments.


I am REALLY hating this new/old gift I got from the numerous blood tx I got in the Navy. The more I read the more I just want to keep my head firmly planted in the sand. Preferably at a beach. I dont feel sick, (at least most of the time) and only on occaision do I have right quadrant pain. After reading all these wonderful stories of medication side effects, ‘Denial’ sounds like a good place to reside. Unfortunately, the misses feels otherwise. Maybe the Mayans were right anyway, and this all wont matter. Oh yeah… I plan on winning the Powerball too. 😦
