[edit] Possible additions
I checked the first 200 "What links here" entries at Hepatitis C. Following are the biographies that list diagnosis. I'm a little hesitant about some of these because they weren't all documentable and some of these people are living. We should probably delete the unverifiable diagnoses per WP:BIO and refactor this page, but I thought I'd put this up for discussion temporarily. Sourced names should be fine to add to the list.

- Rio Reiser - WP bio states he probably died of Hepatitis C. I haven't been able to confirm this through a reliable source.
- Luis Ocaña - same as Rio Reiser.
- Egon von Fürstenberg - same as Rio Reiser.
- Gene Weingarten - [1]
- Herbert de Souza - Does this count as reliable? [2]
- Mike Tetrault - Another borderline reference: his official website confirms the diagnosis by quoting the Wikipedia biography. [3]
- Elizabeth Young - [4]
- Neil Hawke - same as Rio Reiser.
- Jeannine Parvati Baker - [5]
- Lucy Saroyan - [6]
[edit] Christopher Lawford
You are missing Christopher Kennedy Lawford who speaks publicly and openly about having Hepatitis C, treating it, and *clearing* it. I don't know anyone that uses the word *cure* quite yet. The disease is still very *new* and sometimes the virus comes back. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PeachStatePam (talk • contribs) 2007-02-23.
Possibly the newsman Frank Reynolds as well. You might want to check out http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=102891848 He is keeping a list too but I can't seem to keep two windows open to compare. Sorry. Keep up the good work though! This is an important list! :-)
