Well hepatitis C wasn't and isn't easily curable, but i guess awareness of it was pretty low.

  Is a stronger statement that hepatitis C is NOT curable, as it's a retroviral infection, thereby rewriting host DNA? [ Edit: i'd remembered incorrectly from decades ago: it's an RNA virus ]

    To be clear, hepatitis C now has a 95+% cure rate with modern treatments.

    >hepatitis C is NOT curable, as it's a retroviral infection Hepatitis C isn't a retrovirus, so I don't understand what you're saying.
