Granted
The Board grants service connection for hepatitis C, finding that the Veteran's high-risk sexual activity in service likely resulted in his development of the condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence persuasively favors an award of service connection for hepatitis C as directly related to service due to the Veteran's documented history of high-risk sexual behavior and the opinion from the April 2005 VA examiner.
