A really sad event, my condolences. Glad that your father could at least die in his own home in the arms of someone who loved him.
Good that you honor your father by raising awareness for this illness. During the 80s here in Germany we also learned much about AIDS, not too much about other deseases. I had an affair with a gitl who had hep c some years ago, this was the first time it really became aware to me. I think they test for it when you make an HIV test, but after reading what you wrote, it is certainly better to ask when you take such a test. (had my blood checked on several occasions, glad I never caught anything)
May happier times shine on you in the future, Sam!
