Hepatitis C: Unknown Epidemic

For every American with AIDS, there are four who have Hepatitis C. Is this disease always fatal? How does it spread? And why has so little been said about it until recently? In this program, ABC News anchor Forrest Sawyer investigates this virus with Dr. Miriam Alter, epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Dr. Jerome Groopman, professor at Harvard Medical School; and Andi Thomas, founder of the advocacy group Hep-C ALERT. Together they examine topics including risk factors associated with the disease, improvements in blood screening, the results of targeted look-backs at past blood recipients, and the need for additional funding to increase research.
