acute hep c means you (or patient) has been diagnosed with hep c within the last 6 months. this is basically an incubation period. within 20-30% of hep c patients, acute hep c can be defended by the body and disappear completely. For 70-80%, it will progress into chronic hep c, meaning it will stay with the body indefinitely. This does not however mean any signs or symptoms will be present for 10-40 years, if ever
