Rick:
When the doctor told me I had hepatitis C, I was devastated. My name’s Richard. I go by Rick. I live in Michigan. I work for an automotive company as an engineer. After the Army, I came out and I met my wife...and we had three kids...beautiful kids sometimes, sometimes not so much.
My wife wanted to get the family the hepatitis vaccines for A and B, and that’s when I found out I had hepatitis C. It really put a toll on our family.
