At this months meeting Tracy Swan, the Hepatitis/HIV Project Director for TAG will be addressing the group.

Her expertise is in several areas of medication -- basically medications for HIV, HCV and Co-Infection. She's considered an expert and advocate in the area of clinical trials for meds for these conditions and is highly knowledgeable about not only the current meds but meds in the pipeline.

If you've heard her before please trust me that once is not enough -- the information she has to impart could prove invaluable in terms of helping you make a decision re what, when, why now or best to wait.

Also, I'm suggesting that if you have someone who offers you support / helps you sort through info and decisions re HCV please encourage them to join you for this important meeting.
It's been established that a strong social support system helps people dealing with a difficult condition. Come join us to add to your support system. We try to offer education, information and a shoulder (with a network).

This meeting is free and open to anyone impacted by or interested in Hepatitis C.
