Steven Speaks

Steven Tyler has revealed that he has been fighting Hep C for years.

"I've been pretty quiet about this," Tyler says, adding that his physician recommended he undergo the strict interferon regiment three years ago when the group took a break. "You know, it really hurt. It was a bad, bad period."

Now, though, the frontman says he's back in the saddle, health-wise.
"It is nonexistent in my bloodstream...where it's like a complete cure," says Tyler.

The virus is often transmitted through dirty needles and typically affects addicts in high numbers. While there is no vaccine or known cure, hepatitis C can be controlled and even reduced in the bloodstream by powerful antiviral drugs such as interferon that strengthen the immune system. "

Steven has admitted to being a heavy drug user in the past. It's good that he's speaking up about it though. Mabey it will make people think before using interveinus drugs.
