I have a few questions. It is important to get the message about this issue out to people and some of my questions will focus on that. The witnesses probably covered some of these points in their earlier responses. Ms Perry said in her opening statement that most people become infected with hepatitis C virus by sharing needles or other equipment used to prepare and inject drugs and went on to say it can be shared from blood to blood transmission. Can it be shared through saliva or urine? This is a medical question but it would be helpful for people following these proceedings at home to know the answer to that. Mr. Murphy might also like to add a comment.
