From MedPage Today. A study on reinfection rates among IV drug users (IVDU). It seems that rates of reinfection improve following reinfection. Yes, that’s right! It seems like a bit of a viral puzzle, but good nonetheless. I wish them well, and luck in slaying their Dragon. There is no clean needle if you’re borrowing it. Reach out!

Hi Jim,

Amen to that! It’s sad to see the uptick in new cases. We need to see better access to care, as well as a reduction in drug costs. Big Pharm has made their billions, now is the time for them to start sharing their windfall profits!

Hope so.  It was great to get rid of it but it would be even better to never have to get it.

There seems to be a lot of articles available now, so I thought a section to add miscellaneous items we find across the web, might be useful. Feel free to add information that is accurate and helpful for those seeking it. Always credit the source. Thanks!
