Post by ShotUp »

I wanted to pass this along. Not to spread fear or anything but just in case anyone went to these clinics and had this procedure done they can get themselves checked out. Any questions please let me know.

VA'S INFECTED VETERAN COUNT NOW AT 55
Infected veteran tally: 12 with hepatitis B, 36 with hepatitis C and 7 with HIV.

Every Friday the VA releases the latest figures on veterans who have tested positive for viral infections after receiving endoscopic procedures from potentially contaminated equipment.
