About this service
The new Hep C treatment option includes taking one pill per day that has few side effects. The length of treatment may take 8 or 12 weeks depending on the genotype of the virus, your level of cirrhosis and any previous Hep C treatment. Hepatitis C is a contagious blood-borne virus that causes liver inflammation and kills liver cells, permanently damaging the liver. Hepatitis C is usually spread when blood from a person infected with the Hepatitis C virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. Up to 75% of people initially infected with Hepatitis C may become chronically infectedthat is, the infection does not clear up within six months. Most people with chronic Hepatitis C do not have symptoms and lead normal lives. However, in 1025% of people with chronic Hepatitis C the disease progresses over a period of 1040 years. There is currently no vaccine for Hepatitis C; however, current medication treatment has demonstrated a 95% cure rate.
