I was a hcv positive person and had the disease for over 13 years I was treated with a medication equivalent to harvoni I took a 12 week treatment it cost 20 thousand dollars a month which came out to equal 60 thousand dollars the name of the medication was called zepatier and I had no side effects if you are able to do this treatment it is well worth it I tested negative at 4 weeks... Thank God... And still testing negative well past the 12 weeks of finished meds.

Hey if you're still following this old thread, I had zepatier treatment at around the same time, for 16 weeks with ribivarin. Achieved SVR 2017. Interested in learning more about known long term side effects.
