Can Hepatitis C be cured?
Yes, Hepatitis C is curable.
One in five people fight off the infection by themselves,
through their own immune system. This occurs during the first 6
months of infection (known as acute Hepatitis C). If the virus
persists after 6 months it is a chronic infection and will require
treatment.
Of those who develop a long term (chronic) infection, treatment is available
that can lead to a cure in up to 90% of people, depending on their
genotype.
