I wish everyone would read this article. I like so much about it. First of all, it is highly specific and yet very accessible to the lay reader (me). The chart that shows the different strains of virus and relative risk for development of cancer--that could be very helpful to people who have been diagnosed. Helpful in that at least they can assess their level of risk.

Also, I'm appalled that one path of transmission is 'instrument'. I presume this means medical instrument, as has been the case with certain GI procedures. I don't think this is an acceptable risk. Whether it is a matter of economics (reusing instruments) or poor sterilization...IMHO, this risk simply should not exist.

I believe this is the first article I've by you @iradyjr...I'm a fan now:)
