Interferon+Ribavirin: Ifn+rbv are still the backbone of all hcv regimens. In genotype 1 hcv, we add a protease inhibitor (telaprevir or boceprevir). Treatment is 24 to 48 weeks, depending on early response and genotype. By the end of this year we should have pills taken for only 12 weeks to cure genotype 2 (i still find this absolutely amazing). Over the next 2 years more people will hopefully be cured just with pills.
