HEPATITIS C IS A GAY ISSUE

March 4, 2014

To the Editor:

I have been battling for 15 years to make testing for hepatitis C for sexually active gay men more accessible and more routine. (“City Council Bill Seeks Annual Health Department Report on Hepatitis B and C,” by Sam Spokony, posted online Feb. 28).

Resistance to this remains strong. I reviewed the situation most recently on the Huffington Post at tinyurl.com/qjgfl5m. The ongoing coverage of this issue by Gay City News has been excellent and warranted.
