A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not if cured: There are now some truly excellent genotype-specific anti-hepatitis C treatments, AASLD/IDSA-recommended, that replace traditional interferon/ribavirin with outstanding efficacy & tolerability, & are entirely oral. However, if you have antibody to hep C but are reproducibly negative for detectable virus, you're cured.
