Obviously you must go to a physician...specialist in infectious diseases is best....there are a number of successful treatments being used today including interferon....please don't waste time...the earlier you are treated the more successful the outcome...good luck! Look in your phone book under Physicians, call a community hospital or health center or if you are in a major city, look into teaching hospital with a medical school for the most current treatments.

Treatment for Hepatitis c is a combination of weekly interferon shots and daily ribavirin pills. Depending on the genotype, you may have to do treatment for 6 months to one year or longer. Genotype 1 is more resistant and requires one year of treatment. It has about a 50-57% response rate depending on which brand of pegylated interferon you use. Genotypes 2 & 3 are more responsive to the treatment and require 6 months and have about an 80% sustained response rate. However, some genotype 3's have been shown to relapse, so some doctors are treating them for one year just to be sure.
I did the treatment before the pegylated interferon came out and have been blessed to be a sustained responder since 2000. Best wishes to you.

About half the people who go on combo treatment of interferon and ribavirin -- the current gold standard -- are cured. Some people can't tolerate the treatment, and some genotypes of the virus respond better than others. Genotype 1, most common in the U.S., is least responsive.

probability is you're able to have a sustained viral reaction because of the fact i assume you probably did interferon (shot) and the pills (ribavirin). If at week 12 you have a detrimental pcr, that would make me think of which you would be merely high quality. attempt to stay removed from important stressors the submit 12 months of chemo. And the respond is "particular" there are people who have been able to have an SVR previous a 12 months (utilising the two drugs) who have been Genotype 1a's. probability is your virus grow to be caught in time...2 million is seen low. At age 34, Mine grow to be over 10 million yet I had an much less complicated to handle GT at 2b and a minimum of if no longer longer 27 years of persistent an infection. sturdy luck to you!!! You soooo properly deserve the terrific!

Unfortunately there is still no cure for Hepatitis C. Present treatment options are rivabirin in combination with interferon injections. So far results of this treatment are mediocre. There are still other oral medications which are stil undergoing trials which gastroenterologists and infectious disease specialists are presently awaiting.

Economics in action. The law of supply and demand states that as long as there is a demand there will be a supply.
Yes, you can buy a cure.
Does that mean it will work?
No, it just means that if someone wants something, someone will sell it to them.
