"My test 6 months ago was negative. Now it is positive, so I guess the good thing is that I'm finding out VERY early. So does this mean my chances of clearing the virus with treatment is
on the good side? "
d-boy86's "Diagnosed with Hep C a week ago?In need of some advice?"

"Protease inhibitors (Victrelis/Incivek) certainly hit the virus where it hurts - reproduction - and double the odds of cure if you are responsive. I think if you are responsive your odds are much better than 50/50 from the studies I have reviewed. I am relapser myself (geno 1), and did my 2nd treatment (Incivek) last year (so 72 total interferon shots for me), clear at 3 months post treatment and coming up on 6 month blood test (fingers crossed)."
