September's Topic:
Update on Hepatitis C/HIV Coinfection
An Interview With a Hepatitis C Advocate and Two HIV-Positive People
Up to one third of people with HIV are estimated to also have hepatitis C, and living with both viruses is no picnic. The good news is that, unlike HIV, hepatitis C can be cured. The not-so-good news is that being cured is sometimes far from easy.
In our new edition of This Month in HIV, we focus on three people. First, we'll speak with an HIV-positive gay couple: Greg Lamb and Dan Durbin are both living with HIV, but Greg also has hepatitis C. They'll talk about how they've dealt with hepatitis C as a couple, from diagnosis to treatment to everyday support.
After speaking with Greg and Dan, we'll talk with Tracy Swan, the Coinfection Project Director for the HIV activist organization Treatment Action Group. Tracy just finished cowriting a booklet about hepatitis C/HIV coinfection, and she will update us on the latest hepatitis C news and research.
