“It can be cured (not all strains) and now they have a drug that doesn’t nearly kill you in the process.”
OK, to me this is the post of the thread. You explained things very succinctly.
BTW, let me just say “GOOD JOB!” to the guys who got the website back up so quickly. Thanks!
Thank you. Many of the previous drugs were trial drugs which couldn’t be advertised to the general public. Those which were approved required a commitment to a very long and grueling regimen with only a 60%-70% chance of complete cure. Not the kind of treatment you want to advertise to the general public.
