Arrow,
I don't have a website for you, but if you have a County VSO or a Legion or VFW srevice officer, they be of some help. Our county VSO had some brochures on HepC that were published by the VA. Maybe it could help.

Drywall thanks brother, I am mainly looking for information to post so others can get informed. I do encourage all vets and their significant others to get tested. Hep C can be passed on to your partner. It can cause liver damage you can die from it if not treated. I lot of vets don't know this until it is too late.

xgrunt if you are up to it could you explain the symptoms, how it is contracted, and treatment, what to look for, stats in your state that you shared with me, and some of the problems encountered by the VA...if your up to it bro..if not that's ok too...just thought it would hit home more if they get it straight up from you rather than a brochure...vets really do need to get checked...and their partners...
