If you think hep c isn't in your community, so there is no need to learn about it, you're part of the problem. You may even be infected but never know it until you're in stage 4 liver cancer; no one wants to remember you as a preventable death, so don't be. #LiverChat19

Testing availability➡️ normalize testing Stigma (INCLUDING doctors and medical staff)➡️ hepatitis is common, as are assumptions Cost➡️ expanded insurance coverage, Shame➡️ harm reduction strategies across the board Unscientific restrictions on access❌ MedicaidGov uses these

However if you are not perfect like me, for IV drug use make sure: *never share equipment with ANYONE, EVER (straws, water, cookers, cottons) *use new equipment every time (bleach and rinse when you can't) *not to save bloody shots for later *not to use to hate yourself I care4U

Going to the doctor should be like going to confession: place where you can say "this is what I do, I know it' not the best for me," so that you can get the best of care and privacy about your issues (HIPPA). Confess vaguely at confession; no legal protections there #voices4hep

EXACTLY!!! There are still doctors that deny the science of U=U (HIV), and that is continuing to let stigma destroy communities, the same communities that are affected by viral hepatitis! Which communities? All communities: urban, rural, minority, impoverished, your's, mine!

Looking MedicaidGov about this issue. Sobriety requirements have no scientific basis. Fibrosis score requirements expose people to the virus by making those infected wait. Yet you use both to deny patients access to treat across the nation when it is illegal for you to do so!

I did, thanks to someone from the rock. Please don't let the fear of hepatitis or testing for it destroy the birthplace of the loco moco, or any other amazing things and people there. Culture's die when members are shamed out of taking care of themselves. #voices4hep #locomoco 😭

“It’s often worth it to try without” From a clinical standpoint, yeah it’s worth a try, because it’s clearly about cutting costs; but why stop there? Why have anesthesia at all?! From a practitioner standpoint, it’s worth a try because it won’t affect the procedure.

Oh! Oh! Wait! I get it now! So it WOULD be inefficient over-treatment to NOT offer more options for pain relief/mitigation. THAT MAKES WAAAY more sense. And doing differently is that nothing be offered for pain, not only because is inefficient but also cruel to clients. GOT IT!

It’s Mr. became a doctor to force his opinions and prejudice towards drug addicts. Your behavior on here, your wording, and how you carry yourself are evidence that it’s not changing. Not only that, but that YOU are making sure that it doesn’t change either. It benefits you.
