Hepatitis C - The Long Goodbye
She endured two rounds of
interferon
and ribavirin treatment, requiring self injecting toxins, directly into her stomach. For a time after that, she seemed better. We all breathed a sigh of relief and prayed it was gone.

Hepatitis C treatment could halve HCV transmission among gay men in UK over 10 years
The model assumed that 80% of men treated within a year of infection (acute cases) and 35% of men in chronic infection would be cured on
interferon
-based treatment, and that 90% of all men treated with
interferon
-free direct-acting antiviral regimens would be cured.

Back when
interferon
was first approved, the cure rates were about 10%. The list of just the most common side effects could take up an entire page. Now, we have medications that can cure 90 to 100% of patients who undergo therapy.
