Ontario Addiction Treatment Centres - Windsor Clinic - Hepatitis C Treatment Program

There is no referral required. Our Hepatitis C test has up to 3 parts:

• An initial test determines if you have ever been exposed to the virus. Being exposed does not necessarily mean that you have Hep C. If this test is negative, no further testing is required.
• If you have been exposed, a 2nd test detects what strain of Hep C you have been infected with (genotype) and how much is in your blood stream (viral load). The virus may also be undetectable which means that its either too early to detect it or that your body has cleared the virus on its own
• If a viral load is detected, a scan is completed to identify how much fibrosis is in the liver. This is followed by an appointment and then your treatment can begin right away often within just 1 week

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.
