Re: Hep C-sexuality From: Gail Waldby (gwaldby@willinet.net) Fri Feb 21 17:19:10 2003 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Anna Meenan, MD: "Bad week" Previous message: Dean Huffman: "From The AMA" Hep C is rarely transmitted sexually but can be. People that have hep C are at high risk for Hep B because similar high risk behaviors cause both. I would recommend hepatitis B immunizations and use of condoms.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
