Am concerned for you

Do you have a Doctor in your country?

Are they suggesting any treatment at all?

You could self treat with liver healing supplements

Such as milk thistle,tumeric,blueberry leaf etc

Wish I could recommend financially too but i'm on benefits.

Do hope you get the help/support/treatment you need

Best wishes..Jenny

Could you have another milder infection also that is causing your pain

or something that is treatable with antibiotics maybe,

I never had the belly pain you mention

Could you return to the clinic and ask them?

Milk thistle is very helpful and turmeric too.

I really do care about you and want to help

It's a bit more difficult when you live in Africa where situation is so different to here

I'm sure there is help for you and I pray you find it.

HIV meds will not work on Hep C virus at all

Different viruses

You do more harm than good taking wrong meds.

Which country do you live in?

Did the clinic that diagnosed your Hep C offer any help

Wish I could help more

Please don't take meds for HIV as you don't have that virus.

Have now looked at a few sites

Some say taking HIV meds for Hep C can harm liver

Another says if you have HIV and HEP C it can help Hep C too

Does not say this is case if you only have Hep C

Wish I was more knowledgeable in your circumstances

This is c/p from HIV site for those with the two viruses:-

Over 18 months, however, the study revealed that "viral loads" for hepatitis C dropped back down to levels expected for a patient infected with only hepatitis C and not HIV.

"The drop in [hepatitis C] viral levels was a big surprise, and not what we necessarily expected," said Sherman in a university news release. "There is a complex interaction of biological effects when patients are infected with both HIV and the hepatitis C virus." He explained that initially HIV treatment results in a transient increase in hepatitis C viral replication and evidence of liver injury. However, over time

Can you obtain the meds specifically for hep C?

Milk thistle,tumeric,alpha lipoic acid,blueberry leaf extract all help to protect your liver

Don't buy Hep C meds online yourself as many fake meds flooding market

If you are in/near India there are clinics that treat much cheaper than in European countries.

All good wishes

It's safe to buy holistic supplements I've mentioned online from Amazon.
