alifornia’s outbreak of hepatitis A, already the nation’s second largest in the last 20 years, could continue for many months, even years, health officials said Thursday.

At least 569 people have been infected and 17 have died of the virus since November in San Diego, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles counties, where local outbreaks have been declared.

Dr. Monique Foster, a medical epidemiologist with the Division of Viral Hepatitis at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters Thursday that California’s outbreak could linger even with the right prevention efforts.

“It’s not unusual for them to last quite some time — usually over a year, one to two years,” Foster said.

That forecast has worried health officials across the state, even in regions where there haven’t yet been cases.

Many are beginning to offer vaccines to their homeless populations, which are considered most at risk. Doctors say that people with hepatitis A could travel and unknowingly infect people in a new community, creating more outbreaks.

Why in the world isn't it illegal to not disclose all STDs, not just HIV?

My understanding is that some aren't transmittable while under treatment.

I get what you're saying, though. The story here is that HIV / AIDS is almost exclusively a gay / sharing needles affliction, and this is a nod to them to help all the gay guys in San Francisco get their groove on.

Quite a destructive lifestyle in my opinion.

Translation... the transmission of HIV most often leads to full blown AIDS, which is a death sentence. What's more important than exposing someone to a deadly disease to the left is not being mean or promoting a stigma- that is more important that killing someone slowly with a horrible disease to the left- be nice, thatt trumps all.. they are so effing sick and twisted- it knows no bounds

Liberal logic 101... only 99.9987 people that contract HIV eventually die, so don't be mean and make people disclose deadly incurable disease status.

I'm reading that this also applies to blood donors. Isn't that great...

Retards...retards everywhere.

What guys tell the truth about anything for a one night stand? Really! No legislation either way, making it a crime or not, will change that. And by the time someone finds out they are positive - STDs or AIDS - they might not be able to figure out who it was.

We're lead by imbeciles. Using that point of view, criminalizing anything is criminalizing people. That's the same dumb crap they say about "illegal aliens", that no person is illegal. Retards.
