Treatment: Combinations of antiviral therapy are now reasonably effective in eliminating hepatitis c from most of those infected. Many people are unaware that they have the virus because they are often without symptoms until end-stage damage to the liver occurs. Anybody who has been exposed to potentially contaminated needles should be tested.
