Hep C Treatment
Hello guys! I underwent treatment for hep c 05/2012-04/2013. It was a struggle, but I got through it! I was supposed to get a follow up test to see if it cleared 10/2013, but I was so scared I didn't go. I didn't want all my suffering to be in vain. I finally got the courage to go in 05/2014. It said it was not detected! I am so happy!! today i went for the results of my employee health screening at a hospital and they said it was positive for HCV antibodies. I was so upset I thought I had it. I then found this forum and learned that I will always test positive for the antibodies. Thanks for reply to people questions and concerns!
Congratulations!!! I'm glad you went for your last test. Now you can move forward. Wishing the best if you decide to start a family!
SVR means sustained viral response.
