Of course...: Your track record re: hepatitis c is excellent--you have had a "sustained virologic response" (svr). Relapse is unlikely, but in the event of another hepatitis infection multiple treatment options exist.

No relapse: If your hcv RNA is undetectable, it sounds like you're cleared of infection and have no reason to be concerned about relapse. But if it happened, yes, you'd be a candidate.
