More from New Zealand- it is not over here yet, ironic that Tina and I live where there is the most clinical resistance in NZ.
The 5 min video is gold, doesn’t come up on my phone version

Thanks for posting Hazel! Tina – you’re so awesome for coming straight out and telling the rest of the world that ANYONE can contract Hep C.

This is a message we need to get out to the world.

It’s so incredibly simple. The best way prevent new infections, is to treat Hep C among those currently infected.

The other key component to eradicating HCV is screening.
