Hey. I was diagnosed 18 years ago. I know treatment is different and better now... but I got rid of the virus. When I found out I thought my whole world was crashing down around me. Please believe me when I say you will eliminate the virus with your treatment. When you’ve finished they’ll test you and even though people still carry an antibody (which does show up on a blood test) the actual full blood test (ask your doctor or support worker) will show that you’re negative for Hepatitis C. I know it’s scary but medical advances have been great and the tablet only treatment is pretty much guaranteed to eliminate the virus. Good luck xx

Keep to this I had this virus 11 yeR plus started treatment and was virus clear at week 4 bloods it’s very affective
