~unninO' Killer
nonor 't"f'-Ll.ver Awar~ness Month)
by Verna Doherty
Could ir be there is a disease affecting
approximately four million Americans,
chronically infecting arpund 2.7million
of those people? Could it be this disease
infects 35,000 new victims a year, sometimes without any symptoms at all? The
answer to both those questions is yes. That
disease is Hc;patitis C. .
Hepatiris C, or HCV, is a liver disease
that is prim~rily spread through contacr
with rhe blood of an infected person.
Alrhough it is rarely spread through sex,
if there is a body Huid exchange rhen
conrraction is, possible. The most common
way HCV spreads is rhrough imravenous
drug use, i.e. sharing needles. Moreover,
even if you have only injected street drugs
one time, you may have Hep.C.
Though uncommon, conrraction of
HCV through rarroos or piercings is possible if the equipmenr used is nor properly
cleaned.
People who have homemade tarroos
or piercings should check wirh their healrh
care provider ro see if they should be
tested. Most repu rable tattoo and piercing
shops should follow proper sterilizarion
procedures, but if not, then it's a good
bet that sooner or later rhey are passing

ring.
Although both Hepatitis A and B have
vaccines, Hepatitis C does nor. In addition,
the acure forms of Hepatitis A and B have
very dramaric symptoms, but Hepatitis C
does nor. The symptoms of acute HCVare
similar to the flu: Fatigue, abdominal pain,
loss of appetite and nausea. Other signs
include jaundice and dark urine.
However, 80% of those exposed have
no symptoms at all. That is what makes
Heparitis C so insidious and potentially
lethal. Someone could have HCV for years
and not notice the damage it is doing
ro their liver. Acure Hep.C can become
chronic if one's a~ribodies are not able to
conquer ir. Even those who do not have
the chronic form of Hep.C will continue
to rest positive for the virus.
Also, since the diseas~ itself mutates,
an antibody response may nor be enough
to keep it in check.
The Center for Disease Control recommends Hepariris C testing for rhe following
risk groups:
1)
I. V. drug users, pasr or present.
2)
Persons who received any blood
cloning products before 1987.
3)
Hemodialysis parients.
4)
Recipients of blood andlor solid
organs before 1992.
5)
Those with undiagnosed liver
problems.
6)
Infants born to infected morhers.
7)
Heaithcare workers who have been
stuck by a known infected needle.
So, you're not one of those lisred above.
That's great! Still, take a moment ro check
out prevention strategies:
1)
Don't shoot drugs. If you do, stop,
and get into a treatment program. If you
can't srop, do nor share needles, syringes,
water, spoons, etc., and get shots for HepA
and Hep.B.
.
'
2)
Do nor share' razors, toorhbrushes,
or any personal item thar could have some
blood on it.
3)
Healthcare worker? Follow routine barrier precautions and safe sharps
disposal.
4)
Yo! Thoughr about getring a [attoo
or piercing? Make sure you go somewhere
reputable and, above that, somewhere
wirh proper cleaning and sterilizing .procedures.
5)
Rarely doesn't mean never. HCV
can be spread through sex. If you do it
with multiple partners, use a latex condom
and get a Hep.B shot.
6)
If you know you are HCY positive, please do not attempt to donate
blood, organs or rissue. And cover your
cuts!
For more inform arion about Hepatiris
C, contact your local health department.
Information can also be found at these
web sites:

For anonymous home testing, Home

There are treatment options available
for Heparitis C. So, if you are at risk,
get tested now, even if you feel fine , and
even if your docror doesn't mention ir.
Some doctors are not HCY savvy, bur that
doesn't mean you can't be. Play safe.

I can never decide wherher or not
week five stresses me ou t more than week
nine. I certainly ftcl more suessed in week
n in c, but a lot of that is accumulated
lack of slcep. Also, it is r~e feeli ng that
at any moment my brain will explode,
causing g lobs of the information I've
been accumulating all quarter ro fly
everywhere, The poi 11 tis, 1'111 more
functional in week five, and I think
dut'.. rhe 'iourcl' of irs peculiar cruelty.
You se(:, in week five , a~1\ ill week nine,
I am sudde nly ,eiled with a panicked
re,di/atio n that there arc a lot of things
I should have done ,hat I l)dve not, and
a guil[)' fear that the things I have don e
were not done very well. The difference
i, that in week nine I have two dubious
bur significant comforts. First, I know
that there is nowhere near enough time
lefl for me [0 do anything about my
performance, even if I had the energy.
Secondly, I know that the whole thing
will be over, for better or for worse, in
ten days. In week five I have the time
and the stamina [0 deal with it all, and I
haven't got anything better to do for the
next month, so it .becomes a malter of
will power. Those are possibly my least
favorite words in our language.
This makes it sound like I have a lot
of troub le with school, which I don't.
Not where results are concerned, anyway.
I always get full credit, and the worst
eval I've ever received was only partially
complimentary. Worse, I'm one of those
people you pray won't end up in your
r
program. Ar 2 :45 on a Thursday afternoon I will raise my hand and, with thaI
single hand, ruin everyone's weekend
by saying,
"So, it says in the hack of the syllabus
that we have a p,lper and the outline for
our major project due on Tuesday. Could
you talk a little about what you wanr
from our outlines pie».?"
Thus ca using the professor to say, "Oh,
yes. I'd forgonen all about that ... "
If questioned ~fterward about why I
did this, I will blink perplexedly at the
questioner and say,
"Well, I wanred to he sure I'm doing
it right. "
Thi, quaner I am occupying the
odd, neither- fish -nor- fowl territory of a
program assistanr, and vexing the orher
program ass istJnts by proposing morc
work for our fellow students than they
think is reasonable and agreeing with
every additional assignment our professor
sugge",. I [hink they're trying to dec ide
wherher I'm i'1\:tIH:, J. sa di s[, or just
sucking up. I don't have the heart 10 rell
them ,hal I honestly think all rh e extra
work !' good for u,.
Given my irriratingly academic disposition, 1 should be on lOp of everyrhing
and feeling pretry relaxed about it being
week five. [ don't know why I'm not. Part
of it is my overwhelmi ng tendency to
procrastinate and rhe facr that I work
best three hours before what I'm working
on is due. I always get it done , though.
In spite of this, I remain convinced rhat
I'm horribly behind in technique, if not
in assignments. A lot of my unnecessary
keenness comes from an inner certainty
that I'm doing all this wrong.
Whatever it is, why-ever it is, week
five is a dreadful time for me. I generally
survive it only by holding on to the fact
that, not very far in the future, is week
nine, when I will be too tired to do any
really inspired panicking. I'd love to
write some more about it but I have to
go update and reorganize my portfolio.

Sharoni was asked to speak at th e peace
forum and Judah thought peo ple would be

Judah resc heduled because Take Back
the Night needs a healthy headcount: "A
rally like this is about getting the numbers.
It's really hard to rake back the nighr with

wanted to go to the peace forum herself.
On Nov. 8 ar 7 p.m., Sharoni will speak
